The Ashville Mountain Boys
By their name, you know where they are from, and by their sound, you know what they are about. The Asheville Mountain Boys are on a mission to capture not just the style but the spirit of traditional bluegrass. Asheville, NC has long been known for great music and its roots in bluegrass go back to the founding of the genre (Bill Monroe’s first broadcast performance as the Bluegrass Boys was at Asheville radio station WWNC in 1938) A group that firmly stakes its claim to the tradition of the music from the area, The Asheville Mountain Boys spring onto the scene with a thought, ”What happened to bluegrass?” It’s not a disparaging one that condemns current styles in the genre but rather asks, “Why do we love this music in the first place” and answers with an approach that is true to the originators of the genre in the sense of both style and philosophy. Bluegrass is raw emotion, excitement, drive, and authenticity. It is not sanitized or compromised but a reflection of the lives of those who play it. It’s storytelling that follows a throughline of tradition.
Midnight Flyer
Midnight Flyer has been playing traditional bluegrass in and around Philadelphia since 2014. With a new lineup starting in 2023, the band continues to interpret classic bluegrass tunes, old country favorites, and fiddle tunes with the time tested feeling and groove of great string-band music. Well rehearsed vocal performances, side by side with clean, straightforward instrumental picking, give Midnight Flyer’s live shows the energy and soul that no traditional bluegrass fan should have to do without.
Midnight Flyer is Austin Alfano (Guitar), Ben Cocchiaro (Bass/Fiddle), Andy Davis (Banjo), and Matt Hiller (Mandolin/Bass).
