Dr. Ralph Stanley and The Clinch Mountain Boys are a staple in not only the music industry but American culture as well. In 2006 Dr. Stanley was presented the National Medal of the Arts by President Bush, which is the highest honor of artistic excellence. Dr. Stanley did extensive work on the sound track of “Oh Brother Where Art Thou” and received the 2002 Grammy for the best male vocal performance for his rendition of “Oh Death” featured on that same sound track.

Marty Raybon |
Rarely is a voice heard that is not just unforgettable, but it is undeniable. A voice filled with emotion and compassion that not only comes from a melody or a great lyric, but from the heart. A voice that draws you in with trepidation and makes you laugh at the shear elation of hearing it. And when you do hear that voice, you realize that God has placed a precious gift in someone’s life. Marty Raybon who is perhaps best known for his role as the original lead singer of Shenandoah who later embarked on a solo career will be entertaining us with some good down home bluegrass on Friday night followed by some kicking country hits on Saturday. |
