Their Story
The Hart Valley Drifters was one of several groups that Jerry played with during the folk revival of the early 1960s. Made up of Jerry on banjo, guitar and vocals, Robert Hunter on bass and vocals, David Nelson on guitar, Norm Van Maastricht on dobro, and Ken Frankel on banjo, fiddle and guitar, it was perhaps the first of Jerry’s bands to present a professional level of musicianship and vocal harmony.
