BLUEGRASS REVIEW by Sean McCormick Troubled Waters Half Mile Down The Road This is the first release by Troubled Waters, a group from Indiana. Although new to Bluegrass as a band, each member has been involved in Bluegrass for many years. Dave Denman (guitar, fiddle, lead and harmony vocals) is best known for his earlier work with Allison Krauss & Union Station in the mid 1980’s. Having a smooth vocal style and a polished lead guitar style, Alison Krauss even referred to him as “Bluegrass’ best kept secret.” John Pennell (bass) is also a former member of Allison Krauss & Union Station. Kent Todd (fiddle, lead & harmony vocals) A talented fiddle player, he previously performed with Gary Brewer & The Kentucky Ramblers in the late 90’s. Bruce Booher (mandolin, lead and harmony vocals) A former member of the Texas band Borderline, along with other local bands. Klint Brown (banjo, dobro, lead and harmony vocals) He has been playing banjo since the age of 13, and is also a member of New Harmony, winners of the Bean Blossom Band Contest in 2001. ‘Half Mile Down The Road’ features a nice mixture of contemporary and traditional Bluegrass material. Some of my favorites from this recording are “Pig In A Pen” (arranged here in a slower, almost bluesy tempo), “Poor Ellen Smith”; the John Pennell original “Half Mile Down The Road”, David Denman’s original instrumental “Fourth Fret Logic,, and the Don Williams classic “Till The Rivers All Run Dry. This CD would be a welcome addition to any Bluegrass collection. http://www.troubledwatersband.com/ © 2004 Daddy’s Dream Music CTBA Promotes Bluegrass at Laurel Mountain Elementary A First-Hand Report by Steve Davidson and Marty Hurt CTBA’s Bluegrass in School Program finished out the school -The Snowflake Reel, Blackberry Blossom, and Red Haired year by participating in Pioneer Day at Laurel Mountain El- Boy.

  • THE JOHN BYRNE BAND the John Byrne Band Is Led by Dublin Native and Philadelphia-Based John Byrne
    THE JOHN BYRNE BAND The John Byrne Band is led by Dublin native and Philadelphia-based John Byrne. Their debut album, After the Wake, was released to critical acclaim on both sides of the Atlantic in 2011. With influences ranging from Tom Waits to Planxty, John’s songwriting honors and expands upon the musical and lyrical traditions of his native and adopted homes. John and the band followed up After the Wake in early 2013 with an album of Celtic and American traditional tunes. The album, Celtic/Folk, pushed the band on to the FolkDJ Charts, reaching number 36 in May 2015. Their third release, another collection of John Byrne originals, entitled “The Immigrant and the Orphan”, was released in Sept 2015. The album, once again, draws heavily on John’s love of Americana and Celtic Folk music and with the support of DJs around the country entered the FolkDJ Charts at number 40. Critics have called it “..a powerful, deeply moving work that will stay with you long after you have heard it” (Michael Tearson-Sing Out); “The Vibe of it (The Immigrant and the Orphan) is, at once, as rough as rock and as elegant as a calm ocean..each song on this album carries an honesty, integrity and quiet passion that will draw you into its world for years to come” (Terry Roland – No Depression); “If any element of Celtic, Americana or Indie-Folk is your thing, then this album is an absolute yes” (Beehive Candy); “It’s a gorgeous, nostalgic record filled with themes of loss, hope, history and lost loves; everything that tugs at your soul and spills your blood and guts…The Immigrant and the Orphan scorches the earth and emerges tough as nails” (Jane Roser – That Music Mag) The album was released to a sold-out crowd at the storied World Café Live in Philadelphia and 2 weeks later to a sold-out crowd at the Mercantile in Dublin, Ireland.
