This is the sound of Traditional Bluegrass Music as God and Monroe intended!!
I am not strictly Bluegrass, I also enjoy and promote Classic Country and Americana types of music. See Events page.
I feature Tunes of the 50s, 60s, & 70s by the original artists. Oldies, Doo Wop, Country, Pop, and Americana music. Delivered by computer.
Normally I ask $100 per hour, 4 hours for $350. I offer one hour free as a sample to see if my music is acceptable.
I will deeply discount the price for events at Volunteer Fire Co. Halls, Normally 4 hours for $200.
Sorry no weddings!
For many years I have shared my Tunes at the Whiting Volunteer Fire Co Route 530 and Cherry St., Whiting, N. J. at their monthly Flea Market , third Saturday of the month
This venue has been postponed for now due to the election of new Officers on the first of the year Hopefully this event will continue to be held in the near future.
Sadly my live event shows at the Manchester High School were not successful. No more are planned at this time.
I am seeking another suitable venue such as a Church Hall or similar to partner with me to provide local musicians a place to showcase their talents. Limited to Classical Country Music.
Wiliam Smith "Bill" Monroe was an American mandolinist, singer, and songwriter, who created the bluegrass music genre. Because of this, he is often called the "Father of Bluegrass". The genre takes its name from his band, the Blue Grass Boys, who named their group for the bluegrass of Monroe's home state of Kentucky. Wikipedia
