The RFD Boys

The RFD Boys

The RFD Boys are a bluegrass band formed in Ann Arbor, MI in 1969. Dick Dieterle, James (Willard) Spencer, Charles (Stockton) Roehrig and Paul Shapiro met as students at The University of Michigan, and have become an Ann Arbor mainstay. The band plays frequently at The Ark (folk venue) where it has been recognized as the house bluegrass band for several decades. The name "RFD Boys" is derived from the term "Rural Free Delivery."

The group has shared the stage with many famous bluegrass and country musicians from Bill Monroe and Ralph Stanley to Ricky Skaggs and Randy Travis. The band has traveled and toured extensively throughout Michigan and the Midwest, the U.S. at large, and even overseas to Germany, France, Austria, Monaco, Malta, and more.
