After learning to play mandolin, guitar and banjo and to sing lead and harmony vocals, he became a co-founder of the popular Northwest-based bluegrass band Northern Departure.

 

For this tour, Dumas (mandolin and lead vocals) will be joined by an incredible lineup of musicians from across the United States and Canada including Carley Arrowood on fiddle, Daniel Thrailkill on guitar, Will McSeveney on banjo, Michael Kilby on dobro, and Andrew Knapp on bass. Arrowood and Thrailkill are North Carolina natives. Thrailkill plays with bluegrass band The Trailblazers, and Arrowood played with Darin & Brooke Aldridge for many years before embarking on a solo career.
