There
is a deep river of traditional music running through North Carolina.
Grammy Award winners David Holt, Bryan Sutton, and T. Michael Coleman
explore the richness of that musical culture. Each has been inspired
by and performed with Doc Watson over the years and honors his musical
genius. "Doc has been a primary influence on all three of us
and we want to follow his lead in performing a wide range of traditionally
based songs and tunes that really reach out and grab a crowd."
Individually and collectively, Deep River Rising brings new creativity to
a timeless tradition. |

acoustic music can be presented and played. The band's name has been
synonymous with cutting-edge excellence in acoustic music circles since
the group's creation in 1999. Continually redefining the boundaries
of acoustic music, the band has gained legions of loyal fans both as a
result of their superlative musicianship, and more notably, their
incomparably exciting live performances. The six-member group and
its individual members boast multiple GRAMMY, ACM, CMA and IBMA Award
nominations and wins. The opening band New Found Road specializes
in a powerfully streamlined sound delivered with heartfelt honesty and
passion . Contemporary bluegrass at it most soulful and sincere and
achingly beautiful country and pop ballads. |

Stanley,
The Man of Constant Sorrow is an American bluegrass legend, known
for his distinctive singing and banjo playing. He learned to play
the banjo, claw hammer style, from his mother. Ralph created a
unique style of banjo playing, sometimes called "Stanley
Style". It evolved from Scruggs style, which is a three-finger
technique. "Stanley style" is distinguished by incredibly
fast "forward rolls," led by the index finger, sometimes in the
higher registers utilizing a cap. In "Stanley Style" the
rolls of the banjo are continuous and the picking is fairly close to the
bridge. This gives the instrument a very crisp, articulate snap to
the strings as the player strikes them. Stanley's work was featured
in the 2000 film "O Brother, Where Art Thou?", in which he sings
the Appalachian dirge O Death. He was awarded the National
Medal of Arts in 2006, the Nation's highest honor for artistic excellence. |

An
American singer-songwriter, Karla's songs have been sung by numerous
artists such as home by Bonnie Raitt, Tell Me Why by Wynonna
Judd, and Isn't It Always Love by Lynn Anderson. Linda
Ronstadt has recorded a number of her songs, notably three tracks on the
1976 album "Hasten Down the wind" - Someone To Lay Down
Beside Me. Lose Again, and If He' Ever Near. -- "For so
many of us, a new Karla Bonoff album is like hearing from an old friend
you've missed and think of often. Her songs are comforting, familiar
and timeless, and make us feel a part of them just by singing along." |
