2006 Mountain Music Concert Series

Saturday, June 17th:
The Hillbilly Gypsies

The Hillbilly Gypsies are a West Virginia native string band who specialize in playing their own homegrown style of Appalachian old time music, mixed with a hard drivin' bluegrass sound. In addition to their original material, The Hillbilly Gypsies play an eclectic mix of traditional and quite often, not-so- traditional bluegrass standards and catchy old fiddle tunes.

Saturday, July 1st:

two shows!
The Back Porch Trio & The Strung Out String Banned

Saturday, July 15th:
The Halftime String Band

Now in their third year of playing together, the Halftime String Band continues to diversify their sound, developing original material and borrowing from a variety of musicians and styles.  Despite their bluegrass/newgrass foundation, they sometimes tend to leak and lapse into other musical directions just for fun.

Saturday, July 29th:
Mike Morningstar
Mike Morningstar is a singer/songwriter who has been performing his music for over 40 years. He has played as the "opening act" at concerts featuring nationally-known artists. He has appeared on NPR's "Mountain Stage" and, at present, has recorded 7 albums. He has also written music for documentaries and audio books. He calls his music "Appalachian Experimental" or "Ap-Ex", as it is based on the music of these mountains, but is not "traditional".

Saturday, August 12th:

85 Flood

Saturday, August 26th:
Rachel Eddy & The Mo'town Rounders  are an Old-Time string band of eclectic proportions. They are traditionalists pushing the envelope of tradition, infusing high-energy square dance exhilaration into a mix of vintage songs. With a brew of Appalachian tunes at the core, you will hear cajun, honky tonk, folk, outlaw & country. From Woody to Hank to Willie to Beau Soleil, all done as an acoustic string band.

Saturday, September 2nd:
