THESE ARE A FEW OF MY FAVORITE BANDS
These
are some of the bands I work with on an irregular basis:
J.B. Beverley
and the Wayward Drifters http:www.geocities.com/wayward_drifters/index.html
The McGinley Family Gospel Singers http://www.spiritui.com
Dead Men's Hollow http://www.deadmenshollow.com
The
Jackstraws http://www.llsproductions.com/
I used to perform regularly with this band of zany characters.
The
Seldom Scene http://www.seldomscene.com/
I cut my banjerpickin' teeth watching and listening to this great band. The
personnel has changed over the years (R.I.P. John Duffey), but the wonderful
vocal harmonies, virtuosic instrumentals, and intricate arrangements that
mark the Seldom Scene sound have remained intact.
The
Del McCoury Band
http://www.delmccouryband.com/
In my opinion, the best hard-core bluegrass band working today.
The
GrooveGrass Boyz
http://www.groovegrass.com/
Blending hardcore bluegrass with funk bass and dance-mix percussion grooves.
You've got to hear it to believe it!
Eddie
& Martha Adcock
http://www.eddieandmarthaadcock.com/
Eddie's banjo playing was ahead of its time, and he's considered one of the
originators of Newgrass music. Martha is a wonderful singer and
"the best sideman in the business."
Béla
Fleck and the Flecktones
http://www.flecktones.com/
"He wants to take the banjo into parts unknown." I've known Béla
and admired his music for well over 20 years.
"Southern
Missouri Bluegrass
http://www.southernmobluegrass.org
"Southern Missouri Bluegrass has been performing traditional bluegrass
music for over 21 years. They are internationally known through their
Internet television program."
