Blackstone Valley
Bluegrass is
becoming one the most sought after bands in New England. With
powerful three and four part harmonies and fast but tasteful
picking, these musicians are blazing new ground throughout the
Blackstone Valley and beyond. If you want
to hear some great bluegrass music, come
on out and see Blackstone Valley Bluegrass.
You will not be disappointed!
Check
out our new CD!! Scott McLennan of the Telegram and
Gazette
writes; “Debut” is
an acoustic stunner, bursting with fast-flying notes and sturdy
vocal harmonies............no matter which direction the band
chooses for an approach, the performances are inevitably
crackling with an energy one is more accustomed to hearing from
a stage than from stereo speakers. " See our
Music page for ordering info and some sound bytes!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Some bands are
fun to hear and watch. Some bands are
made up of great players.
Blackstone
Valley Bluegrass is both.
Together almost 10 years, Blackstone Valley
Bluegrass features renown banjo picker Dave Dick, his brother
Bob Dick on guitar, Dan Nowlan on mandolin and Ken Taylor on
upright bass. Blackstone Valley plays great bluegrass music;
the fast ones fast - and the slow ones - with lots of feeling.
Bob, Dave, Dan and Ken have all played in lots of
other bands - some nationally famous such as Salamander
Crossing, Northern Lights and Front Range - but it is together
in Blackstone Valley Bluegrass where they really shine. Good
friends all, they have the best time when they’re on stage.
Jokes fly as fast as the notes, the boys swap blistering solos
and even instruments, and they harmonize like the angels. They
might even eschew the microphones and walk into the audience to
lead a gospel number before the set ends, which no matter how
long is always way too soon.
If you love bluegrass music and love a good time,
you owe it to yourself to catch the Blackstone Valley Bluegrass
Band live. Their audiences always have a blast, guaranteed!
