The Expediton Show's Self-titled CD Released Today On Mountain Fever Records!

Mountain Fever Records is proud to announce they will release the self-titled CD from The Expedition Show today!  The first single, "Backroads And Little Towns" has already been receiving strong airplay on bluegrass radio since its debut earlier this month.

Consisting of Blake Williams on banjo and vocals; Wayne Southards on guitar and vocals; Kimberly Williams on bass and vocals; and Alex Hibbitts on mandolin and vocals, The Expedition Show signed with Mountain Fever Records in late 2010.  

The new project contains 12 tracks of some of the best in traditional, contemporary, original, and gospel music and also includes a bonus comedy track featuring the country wit and humor of Blake Williams. As with their previous recordings, The Expedition Show invited their dear friend and “honorary fifth member” Tim Crouch to play fiddle on the project. Although The Expedition Show is best known for their three-part harmony, the diversity of material this project offers allowed the band to try new vocal arrangements and includes two duets; a grassy version of a Louvin Brothers song, "I Can't Keep You In Love With Me" sung by Kimberly Williams and Wayne Southards and a Southards-penned original duet sung by Southards and Alex Hibbitts titled "My Love For You Is True".  In addition, the band revived a familiar church hymn, "When The Roll Is Called Up Yonder", featuring Hibbitts on bass vocals and allowing Blake Williams to reprise his role as baritone singer, something he has not done since the 1980’s.  

All in all, Southards and Kimberly Williams evenly split the lead vocal duties, offering five songs each including Southards on an old Stephen Foster tune, “When The Springtime Comes Again (Little Annie)” and another original written by Blake Williams, “True Blue Never Ending Heartache”. Kimberly Williams reached back to 1977 for a beautiful country ballad titled “It Started All Over Again”, originally recorded by Vern Gosdin and Janie Fricke, and she also sings two more originals penned by her husband; “Storms of Life” and “Smoke And Mirrors”. Also included are two newly-composed instrumentals, "Showdown" and "Sparta Flash", the latter inspired by WSM DJ and Grand Ole Opry announcer Eddie Stubbs who encouraged Blake Williams to write the tune and title it for the name given to Williams by Bill Monroe years ago.  The first single from the project, "Backroads And Little Towns", penned by Wayne Southards and Blake Williams has already been receiving strong airplay since its release earlier this month. 

Robin and Linda Williams Return to West Coast after 2-year Absence!

In a message to fans, Robin and Linda Williams hope that "Absence Makes The Heart Grow Fonder" for their fans on the west coast.

"We're busy packing for our second trip of the year to California and the west. We haven't toured California with the band in several years and we're hoping that absence makes the heart grow fonder. We're returning to some of our favorite places and have added a couple of fine new venues to the schedule and, thankfully, we're hearing from a lot of folks saying they plan on showing up. We might add a second show to the Coffee Gallery in Altadena, so, at the risk
of spamming you, we may send an update later this week to let you know. We'll get to see Linda's brother and wife in Phoenix whom we haven't seen in a few years. So it will be fun to catch up with them. Yeah, we're still basking in the glow of last weekend's work but we're looking forward to this upcoming trip".

Red House Records compilation of Dylan tunes."

Bluegrass Jam this Saturday for families of injured soldiers!

CHAPEL HILL -- There's got to be at least 352 guitar pickers in Chapel Hill.

And John Santa would like them and all the mandolin pickers, fiddlers and banjo strumming cats from all over North Carolina to join him and his buddies at the Marathon Jam on Saturday to raise money for Fisher House, a charity that provides room and board to families of soldiers who are recovering from war injuries in VA hospitals away from their homes.

The idea behind the Marathon Jam is for the musicians to find sponsors who will pay them for every hour they play. The Jam runs from 1 p.m. on Saturday to 1 a.m. Sunday, and everyone is welcome, whether they're classical musicians who can only stay an hour or jazz musicians who want to stop by for a late-night session.

The object of the jam is to raise as much money as possible, but Santa, on his website, Marathonjam.com, said the jam can be a very moving and emotional experience.

Launch Of The Emerging Artists Support Group Forum

The Emerging Artist Support Group 

has officially launched their support 

forum.  Please take time to participate 

and contribute.

From January 20th to January 24th, 2011, a group of Bluegrass Artists and Professionals gathered at the Inn at Evins Mill in Smithville, TN to explore a wide array of big, medium and small support programs especially geared towards Emerging Bluegrass Artists.

This group’s core agenda was to design the structures and tools Emerging Artists might need, or find useful, to be successful in the music business as professional career artists. A second essential focus was expanding the audience, understanding, and market for bluegrass music in general. 













This group of 18 professionals has now organized into six working groups under an umbrella organization called “The Emerging Artist Support Group” that developed one coherent set of 6 key action programs and structures which will deploy and unfold in the next few weeks, months and years.

Participants Kyle Burnett and Matthew Munsey were selected to lead the Emerging Artist Support Group.


The group's webpage headquarters provides a social-media type format to allow interaction among group members.  Such tools as forums for discussion, Chat Rooms, Calendars, Blogs, Galleries and more are all available for learning, growing, sharing and overall improvement in one's self as well as the industry as a whole.

"The Emerging Artists Support Group Forum is a great new tool for artists wishing to be successful in the bluegrass world.  I'm honored to be a part of it!"   -Lee Marcus

Enoch Sullivan, Bluegrass Gospel Pioneer, dies at 79

He performed frequently at Grand Ole Opry

Bluegrass gospel performer Enoch Sullivan died Wednesday, Feb. 23, in Mobile, Ala. He was 79.

Enoch Sullivan of St. Stephens, Alabama was a pioneer of Bluegrass Gospel music. He and wife Margie have performed together for more than fifty years as the Sullivan Family band playing for congregations in small country churches as well as entertaining audiences at major festivals across the U.S. and Europe. They have appeared on the Grand Ole Opry and were inducted into Bill Monroe’s Bluegrass Hall of Fame in Bean Blossom, Indiana and the Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame in Anita, Iowa.  They met in their teens, when Sullivan was playing mandolin in a group led by his father, the Rev. Arthur Sullivan. Their repertoire favored traditional old-time music and bluegrass gospel standards.

The group - dubbed "the first family of bluegrass gospel music" by Bill Monroe -- included such young performers as future country star Marty Stuart, who debuted with the Sullivans at age 12.

The Sullivans toured internationally and were frequent performers at the Grand Ole Opry, and they're members of the Bill Monroe Bluegrass Hall of Fame. In 2005, they received the Alabama State Council on the Arts' Folk Heritage Award and one of the industries highest honors the IBMA's Distinguished Achievement Award. (for both Margie and Enoch Sullivan)

Music was a big part of he early lives of Enoch Sullivan and Margie Brewster early on. Enoch's father, the Rev. Authur Sullivan, played string band music back in the 1930's and 40's. They pattered their music very much like Wade Mainer and the Mainer's Mountaineers. And over in Winnsboro, LA., Margie Louise Brewster loved country and old-time music. She loved Molly O'Day, Kitty Wells,  and Martha Carson. Her father purchased a guitar for her at an early age and the mold was cast. She left home at 13 to be the singer guitarist for an evangelist named Hazel Chain. Her work was more than a job for her. It was also a ministry. And it has remained so all these many years. It was through this ministry that she and Sister Chain went to Alabama where she met her future husband.

From the IBMA 

For five decades Margie & Enoch Sullivan and The Sullivan Family band have carried the banner of bluegrass gospel music in the deep South and Gulf Coast region of the United States, and they have made significant inroads for the music among fans around the world.  Their trademark style features hard-driving, traditional bluegrass instrumentation led by strong lead vocals from Margie and Enoch’s fiddle. The family began publishing Bluegrass Gospel News in 1989, a quarterly tabloid newsletter to promote bluegrass gospel music.  Family band members have included Arthur, Jerry, Lisa and Aubrey Sullivan. Non-family members have included Joe Stuart, Marty Stuart, Carl Jackson, Joy DeVille, James Phillips, Joe Cook and Earn Sneed.  Enoch and Margie Sullivan have always remained close to their roots, seeing their mission as primarily one of praising God through music and making their home in the small community of St. Stephens, Alabama.

Sullivan is survived by his wife, a son and three daughters, 13 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren. (Christopher Morris)

HOW TO MAKE GOOD "BLUEGRASS COFFEE"

Coffee-Bean Banjo Boy  

A friend of ours asked the other day what process we use to make "Bluegrass Coffee"

So, here's a small diagram and instructions on how we do it.

Thanks for asking, 

Enjoy!

Step 1.

Start with the best Coffee Beans (whole beans) that you can buy.  Fresh-Roasted is always better than stale beans.  Whether you like 100% Columbian, French Roast or any others, always start with the freshest you can get.  Store beans in an air-tight container in the freezer until ready to use them.

Step 2.

Grind only as much as you want for immediate use.  Small home grinders cost anywhere from $12.00 to $50.00.   Frozen beans grind better because the oils are cold and frozen beans chip better than warm beans.  Coffee gets more acidic as it stands around.  If it's maintained under heat, the process quickens.  So make-it, drink-it is the motto.

Step 3.

Use the "Finest Grind" you can get.  The process of making coffee is allowing hot water to flow over the edge of the chipped bean.  It stands to reason then that you want as many chipped edges as you can get....hence, the finer the grind, the better.    Also remember that you started out getting the best coffee beans you could find and they are generally more expensive than your average grocery market variety.  Finer Grind means you'll need less coffee beans which equals a savings to you.

Step 4.

The diagram (right) shows a simple 1-cup brewing process.  You can alter this if you need to make a larger amount for more than one person.

Step 5.

Whether you use the One-Cup, low-tech method shown here, or use an automatic drip machine, you're always better off if you can use a metal basket rather than a plastic basket.   Plastic holds the oils and acids from the coffee.  The longer the basket sits without being washed allows the acid and oils to embed themselves into the plastic.  The rancidity greatly reduces the quality of the next brew.  The One-Cup makers come in plastic at every grocery store, but you can go to a better kitchen gadget place and find either a metal or porcelain One-Cup Coffee Maker.  

Step 6.

A word about cleaning your coffee maker.  You always want to start out with clean apparatus but the way you clean and the soaps, chemicals and detergents you use can seriously impair, diminish and/or destroy the flavor of your next brew.  Hazelnut, Cinnamon, Irish Cream and hundreds more are all flavors liked by someone somewhere, but we've yet to find anyone asking for "Soap-Flavored" Coffee.   There are products sold that will help you to clean your coffee maker or you can use a little baking soda with a white vinegar rinse.  Either way, when finished cleaning, rinse well several times with plain water.

Step 7.

Our chart above shows a three-step filtration.  There are three reasons for this.  1) It allows the water to flow slower which creates a longer brew-time.   2) The longer brew-time allows you to use less coffee for increased savings.   3) The second paper filter helps to trap more of the oils from the coffee beans, resulting in a better flavor and paper is cheaper than coffee so why not use an extra filter rather than more expensive coffee.

Step 8.

If you haven't already, turn on CD player with Bluegrass disc in tray.

J.D. Crowe Recovering from Broken Arm!

A freak accident last week caused bluegrass artist and banjo legend J. D. Crowe to take a short break from banjo pickin'.

The 74 year-old, Kentuckian fell last Friday while getting off the band's bus in Youngstown, Ohio and is now suffering from two breaks in his upper left arm.  

J. D. had a cast placed on the arm in Louisville over the weekend to stabilize the breaks, and  underwent surgery a few days ago to put things back in place.

He was released from the hospital yesterday at 4:00 p.m. and was sent straight to a therapist where he was fitted with two slings to begin the healing process.  He was given some exercises to work his fretting hand.   He has to work his fingers with rubber bands right now, but he is looking forward to when he can begin to work them out on the banjo again.  

According to the band's official website, they were on the road and on their way to Framingham, Massachusetts to play the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival, when they stopped to grab a bite. As J. D. was getting off the bus, his shoe caught or turned as he was stepping down, and was thrown to the ground, onto his left arm.

He wants everyone to know that he appreciates all the prayers and kind words.  He wants to especially thank the fans and staff  at the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival for their understanding and support.  He looks forward to making it up there in the future.

Message from the Crowe Family: 

The surgery went well! Thanks for all the prayers, phone calls and notes on all the blogs. If you would like to write JD a get well card you can send it to the following address:

For bands sending music to be played on the radio here's an idea that just makes sense...

Lynne has been singing semi professionally for 25 years and turned professional in 2004.
As well as being a well known figure on the bluegrass circuit where she is rated as one of the best female vocalists, Lynne's vocal range and ability allows her to sing any kind of music across many genres from country to rock and indeed, she has fronted a couple of rock bands in the past as well as other cover bands.

Banjo BUZZ Challenge to Benefit St. Judes!

Lee Marcus, banjo player for Wayne Taylor and Appaloosa has launched a unique challenge for his fans and Facebook friends.

 Lee says, "I will get a banjo buzzed (drawn) in my hair and use it as the back cover of my solo CD if the  BANJO BUZZ CONTEST status gets "LIKEd" by 1,000 people.  If you want to see this happen, go to the page below and "LIKE" the status.

St. Jude is the only pediatric cancer research
center where families never pay for
treatment not covered by insurance.
No child is ever denied treatment
because of the family’s inability to pay.

What started out as a unique promotional stunt for a new CD has become a grass-roots fundraiser for a worthwhile cause.   The Bluegrass Legacy reports that "Lee has lost his mind, ...but in a good way".  He's up'ed the anti now and in addition to the CD Cover, if 1,000 people "LIKE" the "BANJO BUZZ CONTEST" status before March 12, Lee says, "I will also donate all profits from my first 100 CDs ($1,500) to ST. JUDE CHILDREN'S RESEARCH HOSPITAL®".

According to Lee, "I started the whole thing as a promotion for my upcoming CD. Also, I thought that getting a banjo cut in my hair would be very memorable. Then, I realized that this would be a chance to do something important as well. I've been wanting to donate to St. Jude for a while, but I've never had the means of doing so.

It only takes a thousand mouse clicks to make Lee's idea a success and so far he says he's about 25% toward his goal.   The deadline is March 12, 2011.

Gibson Brothers Release New "Help My Brother" CD Today!

Help My Brother Available Today!

2010 IBMA Award Winners, The Gibson Brothers—Eric and Leigh—are widely recognized as the finest brother duet in bluegrass music today.  Today, HELP MY BROTHER is their tenth release and arguably the finest in the duo’s career. The album features 12 tracks, most of which are originals, and all which feature the ensemble’s tight arrangements as well as the contributions of band members Clayton Campbell (fiddle), Joe Walsh (mandolin) and Mike Barber (upright bass). Several guests make cameo appearances on the album as well including Ricky Skaggs (mandolin and vocals), Alison Brown (banjo), Mike Witcher (Dobro) and reigning IBMA Female Vocalist of the Year, Claire Lynch.

* * *  RADIO INTERVIEW - Eric Gibson  * * *

 

* *

The album’s overarching theme is the important things in life, a message which harkens back to the childhood Leigh and Eric shared growing up on the family farm in upstate New York. Each of the songs on the album enforces this uplifting motif. The title track “Help My Brother” was written by Leigh Gibson and explores the golden rule in a new light. “Walking West to Memphis” recounts the story of a roustabout who, down on his luck, realizes that the happiness he seeks will be found in the arms of his Memphis girl. The Brothers also pay tribute to classic brother duos on a pair of covers: “He Can Be Found in a Mother’s Smile” (The Louvin Brothers) and “I’ll Love Nobody But You” (Jim and Jesse McReynolds). With its uplifting message and tight brother harmonies, HELP MY BROTHER will further establish The Gibson Brothers as one of the most important bands in bluegrass music today.
