* in our opinion.
String Theory is a loose confederacy of Athens acoustic musicians whose membership is subject to change at any moment depending on the gig and availability of players. The current (stable) lineup includes Tommy Jordan (guitar, banjo, vocals), Dick Daniels (mandolin, guitar, bass, vocals), Ned Gardiner (banjo), Dale Wechsler (fiddle) and Ben Jordan (acoustic and electric bass). String Theory is available for dances, concerts, weddings and private parties.

Generally configured as a traditional, fiddle-and-banjo-driven 5-piece old-time band, we have had as few as two and as many as nine acoustic musicians for various shows. For the 27th Athens Human Rights Festival, however, String Theory was a quartet featuring Tommy Jordan on guitar, vocals and mandolin, back for his 27th consecutive year at the festival, Dick Daniels on bass and guitar and Ned Gardiner on clawhammer banjo. Special guest appearance, for his first time on this stage, was made by Ben Jordan (upright bass).
