Their musical roots are deeply planted in the traditional styles and their performances thrill audiences with their unique blend and energy. Audiences will be treated to a non-stop evening of toe tapping, hand clapping bluegrass! The group is lead by singer Roger Green who also plays guitar and writes much of the band’s original material. He has been playing since he was a child and is influenced by Reno & Smiley, Flatt & Scruggs, and the Country Gentlemen. Dan Kimball sings tenor and plays the mandolin and has played with such groups as Rat Grass, Appalachian Reign and Southgate.

BNL Column March 07 I Just Turned 61 at the End of February
BNL column March 07 I just turned 61 at the end of February, and find myself reflecting on getting older and “taking stock”. I count myself lucky to have a career in music. The chance both to perform, in many places, with many fine musicians, and to teach people how to play music keeps my life interesting and fulfilling. Some of the best advice I ever give is a direction I took myself when I suggested to Tim OʼBrien that we start a band. The advice I give to any up-and-coming banjo player is: “Get with the best lead singer you possibly can, and learn to work together.” This month, Tim turns 53. At that time, he was 23 and I was 31. Iʼd say it worked out well for both of us. The “get with the best lead singer you can” principle came clear when I realized that almost all the banjo players Iʼd heard of had come to my attention as part of a bluegrass band: Flatt & Scruggs, Reno & Smiley, the Stanley Bros., the Osborne Bros., the Country Gentlemen, Jimmy Martin, Jim & Jesse, etc. In each case, the lead singer in the band was a big part of the reason the banjo player could have a career and be heard. The banjo player might contribute original material, help arrange the bandʼs music, be part of the harmony singing, and often as not, also be part of the “business machine” that helped the band stay in business. This is exactly what I undertook in starting Hot Rize, 30 years ago this year.

A Biography of Doc Watson by Dan Miller Edited by Steve Carr
A Biography of Doc Watson by Dan Miller Edited by Steve Carr Introduction Over the past fifty years the guitar has had a very powerful influence on American music. Predominantly a rhythm instrument at the turn of the century, the guitar began to step out of the rhythm section in the 1930’s and 40’s and has maintained a dominant presence in every form of music from rock, to folk, to country, bluegrass, blues, and old- time. While Elvis, the Beatles, Bob Dylan, and other pop icons of the 50’s and 60’s certainly played a large role in bolstering the guitar’s popularity, the man who has had the deepest, most enduring, and most profound influence on the way the acoustic flat top guitar is played as a lead instrument in folk, old-time, and bluegrass music today is Arthel "Doc" Watson. To those of us who have spent hundreds of hours slowing down Doc Watson records in order to learn the tastefully selected notes that he plays and emulate the clear, crisp tone he pulls out of his instrument, Doc is a legend. However, Doc’s influence extends far beyond the small niche of guitar players who try to faithfully reproduce his guitar breaks because Doc Watson is not just a guitar player and singer - he is an American hero. To be recognized as a "national treasure" by President Jimmy Carter, honored with the National Medal of the Arts by President Bill Clinton, and given an honorary doctorate degree from the University of North Carolina calls for being more than a fine musician and entertainer.

Ricky Skaggs’ Career Is Easily Among the Most Significant in Recent Country Music History
RRiicckkyy SSkkaaggggss Fourteen-time GRAMMY® Award-winner Ricky Skaggs’ career is easily among the most significant in recent country music history. If Skaggs’ burgeoning trophy case full of awards wasn’t already enough evidence of that fact, consider that legendary guitarist Chet Atkins once credited Skaggs with “single-handedly saving country music.” His life’s path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact. Born July 18, 1954 in Cordell, Kentucky, Skaggs showed signs of future stardom at an early age, playing mandolin on stage with bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe at 6 and appearing on TV with Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs at 7. He emerged as a professional bluegrass musician in 1971, when he and his friend Keith Whitley were invited to join the legendary Ralph Stanley’s band the Clinch Mountain Boys. Skaggs then went on to record and perform with progressive bluegrass acts like the Country Gentlemen and J.D. Crowe & the New South, whose self-titled 1975 Rounder Records debut album was instantly recognized as a landmark bluegrass achievement. He then led Boone Creek, which also featured Dobro ace and fellow New South alumnus Jerry Douglas. But Skaggs turned to the more mainstream country music genre in the late ‘70s when he joined Emmylou Harris’s Hot Band, replacing Rodney Crowell. He became a recording artist in his own right in 1981 when his Epic label debut album Waitin’ for the Sun to Shine topped the country charts and yielded a pair of #1 hits.

Davie Street Greensboro NC 27401 Bring instrument for jam sessions Sponsored by Music Center City Arts Featuring: Sweetwater Sweetwater is a fairly new acoustic group organized Spring/Summer of 2007. Members are Mack Arrington (Banjo, Guitar), Ray Knight (Guitar, Mandolin), Charles Long (Bass, Dobro), and Sue Roush (Mandolin, Guitar, Fiddle). The core of this group goes back to the 1970’s when Mack and Ray played together in a group called Harvest which they describe as a bluegrass band. Harvest had the expected guitar, banjo, and bass instruments, but also included some bluesy tunes with harmonica, flute, clarinet, and electric guitar. Since then Mack and Ray have focused on bluegrass ballads and gospel. In 2005 Sue started attending Covenant Fellowship Church at Bur Mill Park where she met Mack. Mack and Sue began working together on music for congregational singing. This inspired Mack to get Sue, Ray, and himself jamming informally every week at Ray’s hair salon. It wasn’t long before Sue felt the group needed a bass player for a fuller sound and to keep everyone together! She invited her friend Charles to join and Sweetwater was born. The four have grown together since the summer of 2007, concentrating on a repertoire of music that reflects not only traditional bluegrass but a little of everything; Classics, Country, Folk, Rock, and Gospel.
