Skin & Bonz

Tommy Bledsoe and Joy D'Elia, a husband and wife team and two of St. Augustine's most dedicated proponents of the arts, have played music in St. Augustine for decades. More recently, Bledsoe and D'Elia have brought the music and steps of traditional country dancing to the forefront in schools and at several local performances each year.

With Bledsoe on banjo and vocals, D'Elia on bass and vocals, and Kathe O'Donnelly on guitar and vocals, Skin & Bonz play old songs—mostly bluegrass and folk. Bledsoe is a Florida Old-Time Banjo Champion, and the three vocalists alternate with lead and harmony, so the sound is a cross between comforting old-time or folk tunes as well as lively traditional dance songs.
