Oh how we save the best for last...Miss Shirley Haines. Whoa what an incredible asset to
the band. She has a very strong country background and has done some recordings with the likes of Ray Legere. She is the host
of many weekly jams in New Brunswick so you might say she is sort of responsible for keeping the music alive.
Being the only woman in the group she is often the brunt of our onstage antics, which I must
say she handles very well and the crowd loves her. She has an incredible strong voice and it matters not whether she's singing
lead or harmony, it's just perfect in every way. Shirley plays rhythm guitar, splits the lead vocals with Ian and of course
does a fantastic job of singing harmony. She'll be playing Fiddle as well this season, can't wait!

It doesn't get much better than this! Bill "BT" Thibodeau and partner Nancy Merrill have teamed
up to help out Borderline with a couple of festivals this season. Look for us a White's Beach and Paul Bunyan. Bill will be
playing fiddle and Nancy of course will be keeping us all together with her incredible upright Bass playing. Thanks to you
both for helping us out. You are Maine Bluegrass Icons without a doubt.

Please make welcome Wayne Burtt from Herman Maine. Seen here playing mandolin he'll be playing
banjo with Borderline this summer in Brunswick and Bangor. He's a great guy, great musician and a lot of fun to be around

Bob Jones, although seen here playing fiddle and he does a great job of it, will be playing
Banjo with us in Fort Fairfield at the County Bluegrass Festival. Better known as "Banjo Bob", he's been playing for many
years as well as instructing students. Great guy to play and jam with!

Elli-Anne is one of the most well known fiddle players in New Brunswick. Even though her primary
focus is country she does a great job playing bluegrass. Canadian style fiddlin' doesn't get much better than this! Look for
her onstage in Fort Fairfield Maine at the County Bluegrass Festival in July 2009.
Susie Boutlier from New Limerick Maine will be playing Bass with us in Fort Fairfield at the
County Bluegrass Festival and perhaps she'll be joining the ranks of Borderline fulltime. She has been playing musice for
many years and is currently in a Gospel group called Common Ground. Sorry we don't have a picture yet...One will follow soon.
