Monroeville’s Seth Taylor to Debut with Mountain Heart This Weekend

Multi-Instrumentalist Seth Taylor came to Mountain Heart Fiddler Jim Van Cleve’s attention when Van Cleve was working with the band Monroeville on production of their CD.   So when Mountain Heart’s long-time guitarist, Jake Stargel, announced last month, that he had plans to separate from the band, Taylor got the not.

Taylor will debut with Mountain Heart this weekend at the Temple Theatre in Saginaw, Michigan.   "We haven't rehearsed all together yet but I'm not even remotely worried," VanCleve said. "I've heard what he can do.”

Bluegrass, BBQ and Competition Coming to Silver Dollar City, MO

Silver Dollar City’s Bluegrass & BBQ

Brings the Bluegrass Best to the Midwest, May 12-30 

The all-American favorites of bluegrass music and slow-smoked barbecue take over the Silver Dollar City streets, from the tunes of the bands to the tang of the sauce, at the park’s Bluegrass & BBQ festival, May 12-30. Presenting more than 50 bands and hundreds of performances, from international award-winning musicians to the hottest new bands in bluegrass, the festival presents a feast from the stages to the grills at the Branson, Missouri theme park.

  “The music is as American as barbecue – and we have that too,” Callaway says. Crossover and cutting-edge bluegrass artists like Rhonda Vincent, The Grascals and IIIrd Tyme Out have racked up awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), while Audie Blaylock and Danny Paisley have won awards with more traditional sounds. New groups, such as Monroeville –already spotlighted on The Today Show - keep the genre fresh.
