Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass   

Danny Paisley and The Southern Grass are a national and international touring band, playing powerful, unadorned and intense traditional bluegrass. Theirs is not hybrid or genre-bending music. The combination of instrumentation and vocals convey the energy and emotion of classic bluegrass and country music. Paisley's lead vocals captivate the senses, leading many prominent musicians, including Alison Krauss, to regard Danny as one of their favorite singers. He combines powerful range and soulful blues producing an unmistakable and unique bluegrass voice. Son of bluegrass icon and founder of The Southern Grass Bob Paisley, Danny has made his own niche in the bluegrass world. "Don't Throw Mama's Flowers Away" won the 2009 IBMA Award for Song of the Year and Danny has garnered several IBMA nominations for Emerging Artist of The Year, Male Vocalist of the Year as well as Album of the Year. Southern Grass continues the family tradition adding Danny's son Ryan on mandolin and includes banjoist Mark Delaney, formerly of the Country Gentlemen, as well as fiddling sensation Doug Meek and Eric Troutman on bass.

Bluestone 



Bluestone derives its name from the blues in bluegrass music and the stone in the former Keystone band name. Bluestone formed two decades ago when Dick Laird (mandolin) and Carroll Swam (guitar & vocals), members of the southern York county band Keystone, joined forces with Dick's two sons, Heath Laird (bass) and Jeff Laird (guitar) and veterans banjoist Tom Neal and Dobro player Russ Hooper. Violinist Jon Glik, known as "Baltimore Jonny," will be with Bluestone for this afternoon of powerful bluegrass. This hard-driving veteran bluegrass band brings together musicians who have played with some of the best including Del McCoury, Jimmy Martin, Cliff Waldron and Bill Harrell. Firmly grounded in traditional bluegrass, Bluestone's music incorporates gospel, country, blues, swing, and folk influences.
Tickets: $19; $17 Student/Senior 65+
