LegendaryProgressiveBluegrass Band Hot RizeRises again at the Gordon Center for Performing Arts -- Saturday, November 15, 2014 Back in action and on the road again after a 24-year hiatus, Hot Rize gets setto Steam up the Gordon Saturday, November 15 at 8pm September XX, 2014 – Owings Mills, MD –Award-winning, internationally-renown bluegrass band Hot Rize is backon the road and back on fire. On Saturday, November 15,Hot Rize willperform music fromWhen I’m Free, their first studio album in 24 years,at the Gordon Center for Performing Arts in Owings Mills, Maryland. “There’s a lot you can say about love, death, coal mines, farms, and trains,” says Pete Wernick, Hot Rizebanjo player and vocalist. Hot Rize, however, eager to “show that [they’re] not stuck in the 20th century,” is releasing 14 contemporary bluegrass tracks onWhen I’m Free, on September 30, 2014, a month-and-a-half in advance of the Gordon show. While the recordings are progressive, mixing new and traditional bluegrass styles, Hot Rize’smusicians (including Wernick; Tim O’Brien on vocals, mandolin, fiddle and guitar; Nick Forster on vocals and electric bass; and Bryan Sutton on vocals and guitar)recorded the new album in traditional fashion facing one another in a circle, true to bluegrass form. Renowned actor, comedian and banjoist Steve Martin (yes, the Steve Martin) once called Hot Rize “…the great modern bluegrass band . the connective tissue that links the great founders of bluegrass with the modern tradition.” Mid-way through the show, the Gordon and Hot Rize will also welcome another band on stage, Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers, a hilariously wacky but musically deft country swing band that Hot Rize frequently tours with. “This is going to be an incredible show,” saidRandi Benesch, Managing Director of the Gordon Center. “Hot Rize is very hot. The style of bluegrass they play, their fusion of traditional with electric and contemporary expressions of new and old bluegrass themes – these guys are phenomenal, musically, and their interaction with the audience,on top of that, ishysterical.” To hear a sample track from When I’m Free, go tohttp://www.esquire.com/blogs/culture/hot-rize-blue- is-fallin#comments.

PRESS RELEASE...For Immediate Release Thomas Point Beach brings Bluegrass to Brunswick Performers Include The Earls of Leicester presented by Jerry Douglas, The Legendary Larry Sparks, The Gibson Brothers, Balsam Range, Sierra Hull, and many, many more Brunswick, ME- August 9, 2018 – The Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival will be held August 30, 31, September 1 & 2, continuing a Labor Day weekend tradition of nearly 40 years. The Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival has solidified itself as a premiere event for both bluegrass aficionados and those new to the genre. It is recognized internationally for its fine line-up and beautiful venue. The Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival was established in 1979 by Pati Crooker, of Brunswick, Maine, with the goal of bringing traditional bluegrass music to her coastal home. Since its inception, the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival has hosted over 200 of the best performers in Bluegrass music on its historic stage, from old down-home favorites to internationally renowned acts. Following Pati’s passing in 2016 her son and daughter-in-law, Michael and Jennifer Mulligan, decided to bring back the event with the help and support of long-time festival associate Shari Elder, as well as other park staff, industry experts, family, and friends. “Last year, we gave it a shot, we took a gamble, and it was the best decision we could have made” said Michael Mulligan. “After the festival was over, we took time to consider the future, and there didn’t seem to be much of a doubt that we would be doing it again in 2018.” Throughout the four day event, the stage show blends regional favorites with bluegrass legends and award winners, as well as a solid mix of traditional and the contemporary styles.

Roland White Band
The Roland White Band Roland White Bluegrass mandolin master Roland White has played in some of the most influential and popular groups in the music's history, and has played a notable part in creating that history. Springing from a large family of musicians, Roland and his younger brothers Eric and Clarence first played together as youngsters in their native Maine. Moving to southern California in 1955, The Country Boys (later to become The Kentucky Colonels) won talent contests, appeared on local television shows and even landed appearances on The Andy Griffith Show. They toured the country during the folk music boom of the early 60's, creating a sensation among coffeehouse, festival and college audiences with their instrumental virtuosity, traditional brother vocal harmonies and rhythmic innovations. The Kentucky Colonels' influence far exceeded the band's short tenure as an active band. Their "Appalachian Swing" album remains one of the most important albums of that era, a landmark in the history of bluegrass. Moving from The Kentucky Colonels into a position as guitarist for Bill Monroe in the late 60's, Roland absorbed the traditional feel and repertoire from his mentor, the Father Of Bluegrass, which remains a strong element in his music today. From Monroe's band, Roland joined that of another bluegrass pioneer, Lester Flatt, playing mandolin and recording several albums as a member of The Nashville Grass from 1969-1973. In 1973 a short-lived reunion of The White Brothers was brought to an untimely end due to Clarence White's tragic death. Of this brief reunion came two concert recordings that capture the excitement of the White Brothers' sound fully matured, after Clarence's excursions in country rock with the Byrds and Roland's studies with the Monroe and Flatt.

Than a Spruced up D-28 Close Collaboration with a Bluegrass Star Produced This 1986 Preston Thompson Dreadnought by Teja Gerken
Great Acoustics More Than a Spruced Up D-28 Close collaboration with a bluegrass star produced this 1986 Preston Thompson Dreadnought By Teja Gerken EVERY LUTHIER YEARNS to have a guitar end up in the hands of a virtuoso who will use the creation onstage and in the studio. Some- times these connections happen by chance, but other times they’re the result of a collaboration between builder and player. Such is the case with this Preston Thompson Dread- nought, which was built for—and played by—the late flatpicking star Charles Sawtelle. Thompson (pktguitars.com) first met Sawtelle in Boulder, Colorado, in the late 1970s. Sawtelle was just getting started playing with Hot Rize (he began on bass before switching to guitar; other original members were founding guitarist Mike Scap, mandolinist and fiddler Tim O’Brien, and banjo player Pete Wernick). Thompson and Sawtelle quickly struck up a friendship. Eventually, Thompson moved to Vermont to attend Charles Fox’s School of Guitar Research and Design Center, and after finishing the program, settled in Bend, Oregon. He remained a close friend of Sawtelle, and the influential blue- grass guitarist was a regular houseguest whenever he passed through Oregon. Swatelle’s main instrument at the time was a 1937 Martin D-28, and while he loved the guitar’s sound, he longed for something fancier to play onstage. So, Sawtelle asked Thompson to build a dreadnought with the tone and feel of the D-28, but dressed up with the abalone purfling, fingerboard inlay, and details of a style-42 Martin.
