	"Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass" play powerful, unadorned, and intense traditional bluegrass. There is no hybrid or genre-bending music here. It is music borne of the vibrant old time southern fiddle bands, as well as the lonesome moans of the backwoods mountain blues. The instruments blaze with energy while the songs reveal a paradoxical, desperate sadness anchoring the music squarely in the classic bluegrass tradition. Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass combine those forces with a drive and energy that takes over your senses. It is music you not only hear, but feel in your gut.
	"Santara Wind"  It was the summer of 2006 at a campsite somewhere in PA, that my brother Lynn and I decided to form another Blue Grass band. At this point we had a guitar and dobro. We then asked a well known banjo player from the Philly area to help us play a gig. We nailed him down as a band member. I also called a good friend to play bass. Our new bass player was with me in a previous band in 2002. We signed him to a contract. I then met a mandolin player from Reading at a pickin' session at Meadow Wood Music Store. I asked him if he would be interested in joining us. He said sure give me a call; I called Thursday, he played Friday and we signed him.
	"Mountain Heritage" is a traditional bluegrass band based out of Bucks County, Pa. The group performs at shows and festivals in the surrounding areas on a regular basis. Mountain Heritage can also be heard in a monthly appearance as the house band on 89.7 WDVR-fms Heartlands Hayride.
	"The Timmons Family" are known for entertaining the bluegrass audience with a powerful traditional sound.
	"Blue Detour" - first started playing together as a band in 1996. The band features both traditional and more modern Bluegrass Music done with a local Northeastern flavor. We are four native Long Islanders who really enjoy playing music together. Our music features tight lead and harmony singing blended together with skillful musicianship on our instruments. Whether it is entertaining at a private party, concert, or social event, Blue Detour will do our best to provide our listeners with an enjoyable and professionally delivered experience.
	The "Morning Edition" bluegrass band was formed in early 2008 after some of us had been getting together for a while doing "house jams". (A house jam occurs when a few musicians, who are nearly dying from the anticipation of waiting for the next time they can get together with some other musicians, get together to play and sing music for hours and hours on end . . . until their families threaten to throw them out of the house). What we discovered during these house jams is that we all enjoyed traditional bluegrass music, slightly progressive bluegrass music, and country and bluegrass harmonies.
	"Chester River Runoff" can hang with the best of the bluegrass scene, with big harmonies and tight instrumental work. At the same time, they preserve in their live shows the warm spirit and humor of friends who got together simply to hang out and learn an instrument.
	"The Rockdale Boys" have mostly been performing for church benefits and at local festivals and events. The music is a mix of traditional Bluegrass, Gospel and some original compositions
	“Walt Crider and The Old Time Way” play traditional, bluegrass, old time country and gospel music, with the heartfelt harmonies of yesterday, when the music began.

	"Chestnut Ridge" from eastern Pennsylvania, has been together for about two years. They play traditional bluegrass music including gospel and some country songs.

	"Ernie Bradley and the Grassy Ridge Band"have been together since 1981. Although the complexion of the band has changed a bit over the years, it still maintains its hard driving, traditional bluegrass sound.
