Grammy Nominated Bluegrass Band to Come to Hughesville Grammy nominated bluegrass band to come to Hughesville Posted by TBN_Admin On 11/14/2014 Award winning Bluegrass band, The Boxcars, along with “2014 Mandolin Player of the Year”, Adam Steffey will be making a return performance to the American Legion Post 238 in Hughesville, MD on Sunday December 7, 2014. The show starts at 2:00 pm with special guest Davis Bradley Duo from the Shenandoah Valley area of Linden, VA. The doors open at Noon and tickets are “still”, the best entertainment bargain in town, just $15.00 per person. Just a short time ago, the name "The Boxcars" meant nothing. A few years later the name is synonymous with the five guys that make up this ground breaking band. They don't sound like anyone else. And yet they capture the excitement of the bands that preceded them in Bluegrass and combine it with cutting edge sounds of bluegrass today. The result is, well, magical. You can't replace chemistry between band members. And these guys have it. The Boxcars: Adam Steffey, Ron Stewart, Keith Garrett, Harold Nixon and Gary Hultman make up what has quickly become one of the top headliners in bluegrass and beyond. With spending time with Alison Krauss & Union Station (Adam Steffey), J.D. Crowe & The New South (Ron Stewart, Harold Nixon), Blue Moon Rising (Keith Garrett and Harold Nixon), and The Dan Tyminski Band (Steffey and Stewart), this 5 piece band started out with an impressive rap sheet. Steffey's 2011 project on Sugar Hill, “One More For The Road” received a great deal of airplay and features guest appearances by Krauss, Ronnie Bowman and Tyminski. The Boxcars cover a broad range of material drawing heavily on the pen of Keith Garrett and Ron Stewart. They branch out into their own unique style of contemporary bluegrass laced with Steffey's signature rhythm that can be traced back to the early days of Union Station. Award winning instrumentalist Ron Stewart delivers rock solid banjo work, but also lays down the banjo for the fiddle on some tunes. It's always rare to have multiple strong vocalists in the same group, but The Boxcars benefit from strong vocal performances from Keith Garrett, Gary Hultman and Steffey's signature baritone. The American Legion Post 238 is located on the corner of Rt. 381 & Rt. 231 in Hughesville. The doors will open at noon. A Spaghetti dinner will be available for sale before the show by the Sons of the American Legion. For more information, tickets, and directions, go to www.americanlegionbluegrass.com or call 301-737-3004. All paid tickets will be held at the door for pick up on the day of the show. You can purchase them in advance by sending a check or money order to: “Jay Armsworthy”, PO Box 741, California, MD. Also non-perishable food donations will be accepted for the Helping Hands Food Bank in Southern Maryland. Other upcoming shows in the series of American Legion Bluegrass include Kody Norris & the Watauga Mt. Boy’s on Sunday January 11, 2015; by popular demand, the award winning Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out comes to us on Sunday February 15, 2015; and closing out the series will be legendary Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver on Sunday March 8. As always, our sound man will be Troy Jones. Copyright © 2021 thebaynet.com. All rights reserved. Page 1.

  • Ronald Dean Rice- Audiophile, Musician & Engineer
    Ronald Dean Rice- Audiophile, Musician & Engineer Anyone who thought there were only three Rice Brothers is encouraged to study bluegrass history. Ron Rice grew up playing acoustic bass and performing with his three brothers, Larry, Tony and Wyatt. He’s the third youngest of the four and is now retired from a long career in power generation. While proud of the family’s musical heritage and impact, Rice is a highly talented, yet modest man who has created his own path. Currently living with his wife Terry in Falls Church, VA, his story is an important piece of bluegrass music history. Rice was born in Lynwood, California on February 22, 1955 to Herbert H. and Dorothy L. Rice, with his namesakes being Reagan and Martin. The Rice family resided in the suburbs of Los Angeles until the summer of ’65 then moved considerably along the east coast, as Dad Herb was in construction. Rice started playing the bass at age six with his brothers Larry playing mandolin, Tony playing guitar and Andy Evans playing banjo. This band was known as the Haphazards. Rice notes, “We played a lot of local bluegrass gigs around the Los Angeles area, amusement parks, auditoriums, coffee houses and pizza parlors. Other shows we played in the early sixties were more folk related, back in the Hootenanny days. I remember being back stage with and playing on the same bill as Peter, Paul and Mary, the Kingston Trio, and the Stoneman Family just to mention a few.” Rounder Records-The Rice Brothers 1 (1989) and The Rice Brothers 2 (1994) Rice recalls that the exact origin of the first Rice Brothers project remains something of a mystery.

Ballard Chairperson, Thesis Committee Gary R. Boye Member, Thesis Committee David H. Wood Member, Thesis Committee William R. Schumann Director, Center for Appalachian Studies Max C. Poole, Ph.D. Dean, Cratis D. Williams School of Graduate Studies Copyright by Natalya Weinstein Miller 2018 All Rights Reserved Abstract JIM SHUMATE AND THE DEVELOPMENT OF BLUEGRASS FIDDLING Natalya Weinstein Miller, B.A., University of Massachusetts M.A., Appalachian State University Chairperson: Sandra L. Ballard Born and raised on Chestnut Mountain in Wilkes County, North Carolina, James “Jim” Shumate (1921-2013) was a pioneering bluegrass fiddler. His position at the inception of bluegrass places him as a significant yet understudied musician. Shumate was a stylistic co-creator of bluegrass fiddling, synthesizing a variety of existing styles into the developing genre during his time performing with some of the top names in bluegrass in the 1940s, including Bill Monroe in 1945 and Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs in 1948. While the "big bang" of bluegrass is considered to be in 1946, many elements of the bluegrass fiddle style were present in Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys prior to 1945. Jim Shumate’s innovative playing demonstrated characteristics of this emerging style, such as sliding double-stops (fingering notes on two strings at once) and syncopated, bluesy runs.
