Members of the Irish Rogues changed over the years but Earnie

performed regularly with John’s band for the next 30 years. (Photo

of the band, from left to right, David Sparks, John Hodgins, and

Earnie Taft.) Over the years Earnie expanded his use of

instruments to include added fiddles, mandolin, bouzouki and tenor

banjo.

Earnie has always helped

other folk music groups out to

include a stage production in

2009 (see photo of the Irish

Rogues with Shaun Young

on the right) for a “Celtic

Night at the Library” in

Allen, Texas.

More recently Earnie has

returned to his “old timey”

fiddling and string band

roots and performs with

various string band groups

in the Dallas-Fort Worth

Metroplex.

An excellent example of Earnie’s fiddle playing can be found with

a stage production that he did with a group called the “Lone Star

String Band” in Allen, Texas in 2018.

Earnie continues to support the music of the
