Four Bridges Band Bio
Four Bridges band members, Jeremy Place, Ben Marshall, Nelson Hiller and Sal Sauco, have played together for more than 14 years. Their extensive musical backgrounds and multi-genre experiences result in a lively show that's full of surprises.
Jeremy Place
Jeremy Place-mandolin, guitar, banjo, and vocals.
By day, Jeremy is music educator. At night, he’s an avid songwriter and bread baker. He picks and writes after he gets his two young boys tucked in bed and a couple of loaves in the oven. Jeremy lives in Middleboro, MA.
Ben Marshall
Benjamin Marshall-banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, vocals & bass.
Growing up in Rhode island, his dad Rusty was a pit man and mechanic on the stock car racing circuit and brought little Ben with him all along the east coast. Rusty also winter plowed and took Ben, a pot of coffee and a Flatt & Scruggs double eight track every time he left to work those long nights. The rest is history. Ben admires and respects the bluegrass icons and that sound is very much a part of Ben's musical chemistry. Look for Ben's Dad, Rusty, manning our record table. Ben and Rusty are Rhode Islanders.
Nelson Hiller
Nelson Hiller-bass, mandolin, guitar and vocals.
A talented and prolific songwriter, Nelson is blessed with a sharp wit and an ear for good music. He always brings life to the stage. You can often find him leading jams and bringing people together at bluegrass events.
Sal Sauco
Sal (mando/guitar) is both an avid student, user and pusher of bluegrass. Since his very first jam he has been addicted and he feeds his habit regularly. Formerly with Greystone Rail, he has also played with the Bill Thibodeau Band, Island Farm Bluegrass and Swampgrass. Sal is the Southern New England expert on Neanderthal poetry and his kids are sure he is insane.
