Aaron Ashton (Fiddle, Mandolin)
Aaron Ashton is the sort of musician who lives in classical, jazz and
ethnic
folk worlds with equal ease. But he’s also the sort of recording
artist who
lives on both sides of the glass equally well, as a musician or as an
arranger/producer. So his recent assimilation into Enoch Train was both
logical and exciting. Aaron was chosen the outstanding violinist at
the
Lionel Hampton Jazz Festival in 2001, has toured with the Utah Performing
Arts Tour with two different ensembles of his own creation, and has
performed and recorded for events and clients from PBS and CNN to the
2002
Winter Olympic Opening Ceremonies.
Rich
Dixon (Guitar)
In addition to his always-surprising arrangements for Enoch Train, Rich
composes, arranges, and produces music for film and video for his company,
Sleepless Productions.
Rich has toured with The Osmonds, played for the Donny and Marie Show,
taught at the University of Utah and Brigham Young University, is a
clinician for Digitech, and is the most in-demand studio guitarist in
the state.

baritone (tuned 1/4 lower), mandolin, dobro, and sitar.
