The Sugarfoot Stompers play New Orleans jazz. They are a regional crowd favorite at the Leaf Peepers Festival in Davis, WV, Tucker County ArtsSpring, Our Town Theatre in Oakland, Moonshadow Café, the Purple Fiddle, and local brewpubs.

Fronted by trombone, trumpet, clarinet, and backed by banjo, upright bass, washboard/percussion, the boys bring joy to audiences with rockin’ improv sessions on traditional blues and Dixieland tunes.

Rick Milne, a longtime music educator, plays trombone and sings. He also plays in regional community bands. Moe Turrentine, a community band leader, plays trumpet. He is the only member of the group to have played for Castro in Cuba. Gino Mauricci plays clarinet with Sugarfoot and sax with his rock ‘n’ roll band. He studied at Eastman School of Music and toured with Winton Marsalis.

The rhythm section is Stephan Moylan on banjo and vocals, Matt Eary on upright bass and vocals, and Fred Jacoby on percussion and vocals. All three have performed in multiple bands and vocal groups ranging from long-hair rock ‘n’ roll to neatly trimmed barbershop.

Everyone lives in “Almost Heaven” Garrett County.
