Chestnut Ridge Park - 2009 Mountain Music Concert Series

		Saturday, June 27th: Remington Ryde A hard driving traditional bluegrass band. We offer superb musicianship, hauntingly tight harmonies, traditional and contemporary lead vocal styles, original material, humor, and history in every performance. And each member is as personable as they are talented, believing the audience comes first.

		Saturday, July 11th: The Halftime String Band For nearly five years the Halftime boys have joyfully struggled with their collective musical identity crises, embracing and eschewing tradition, carefully and recklessly blending styles, and blindly seeking that perfectly encapsulating self-aggrandizing band bio.

		Saturday, July 25th: String Fever Keith, Joan & Jake Pitzer "Bringing all the complexities of modern Appalachia to life with beauty and grace, excellent guitar work and delightfully woven vocals that can only come from knowing each other's souls." -Shenandoah Coffeehouse

		Saturday, July 25th: The Fox Hunt Serving up dirt-laden tales of substance abuse, lonely highways, infidelity, damnation, and redemption, Martinsburg, WV’s the Fox Hunt play a brand of music anyone can identify with. Their strong writing and instrumentation is rounded out by a raucous live performance, making them as comfortable in a rowdy punk rock bar as they would be on your back porch.

	XXX	Saturday, August 8th: Rust Kings High Energy Appalachian Stompgrass! From the hills and valleys of West Virginia. Originally formed in 1994, Rust Kings have been playing a steady stream of dates on the east coast and beyond. Not bluegrass, not country, not rock but a little of it all….

		Saturday, August 22nd: Bare Bones Becky and Bill Kimmons team up with Mark Davis to form the a cappella trio **Bare Bones**. It’s hard to fit their music into one genre because their repertoire spans not only time but also many styles. They move from gnarly old Appalachian ballads to Motown, from African American songs of the antebellum South to contemporize secular songs about love and broken hearts, and from protest songs to songs of salvation. The three things their songs all have in common are strong rhythm, tight harmonies, and a sense of fun.

		Saturday, August 22nd: Woodticks Old-time is the core of our music, which is the name given to music of the rural south during the golden early days of radio. Tunes and songs from the early 20th century and before are alive in our hands and hearts and filtered through our own style. We play old-time, along with maybe an Irish or Scottish tune or two, some originals, and a few other tunes and songs that we just like. Plus a whole lot of singing.
