In the late seventies, when I first started going to festivals, one of my favorite bands was the Outdoor Plumbing Company, which also provided sound for many bluegrass festivals. The mandolin player for the band was Jeff Schram and being an aspiring mandolin player myself, I was very impressed by his ability and style of play. OPC, at some point disbanded and I never heard of Jeff Schram again, though I have done several searches over the years. Does anyone have any knowledge or have any information about him or for any other bands he might have worked for? I am fortunate to have 4 or 5 of their albums and still find his playing to be inspiring. If anyone could shed any light on this little mystery, I certainly would appreciate it.

Hope this helps.

Thank you Mandy Lynn for your response. I had run across the link you are referring to sometime in the past while searching for this individual. The guy shown in the instagram image really didn't look old enough to be the one I have been looking for, however since this image may be from sometime in the past, I have reconsidered its possible validity. After receiving you message, I reached out to this Jeff Schram by email, using the instagram link. I have not heard from him, so i don't know if it's the same guy or not. If I hear anything further I will be sure to let you know. Thanks again.
Good luck and hope you find your guy. Keep us posted on your adventures!
