                Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee: Traditional Country music

                                     Thursday, May 2  7:30pm

   Mining the fertile common ground between bluegrass, early country music,

and traditional mountain music, The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee are torch-

bearers for dynamic, deeply grounded old time music. Their powerful harmony

singing and energetic instrumentals have captivated audiences around the

country and helped the band to win many awards including blue ribbons in

the old time band contest at the 85th Annual Old Fiddlers’ Convention in Galax,

Virginia and the bluegrass band contest at the 51st Mount Airy Fiddlers’

Convention in North Carolina.

   Deep appreciation for traditional music enables the band to craft tasteful

original songs and instrumentals that blend seamlessly alongside the classics.

The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee cut no corners when it comes to real, hard hitting,

old time country music – an approach that is gaining them loyal followers far

beyond the reaches of their Virginia mountain home.
