Coming to the Tri-State Bluegrass Festival this Fall! The McLain Family Band
Their fresh approach to the music, as well as their friendliness and approachability, made us instant fans. They have now been performing for over 50 years, and the current membership has the familiar faces of Raymond McLain on fiddle, Al White on guitar, Alice White on mandolin, and Ruth McLain on string bass. The “new” guy in the lineup is Daxson Lewis, who has been with the group several years and is currently the Director of Traditional Music at the Kentucky Center for Traditional Music at Morehead State University. They have become internationally known as one of the most spontaneous, creative and spirited groups performing original and traditional bluegrass music. #NIBGA #LaborDayBluegrassFestival #bluegrass ...

We look forward to seeing friends, old and new at the festival! Will be a marvelous time! Don’t hold us to just those instruments. 😉

We’ve been trying to get Volume Five to perform at our festival for a while, since they earned their IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year award in 2017!
They feature some nice original material and creative arrangements. Fiddler Glen Harrell is their primary lead vocalist, with guitarist Jacob Burleson and mandolinist Aaron Ramsey providing stellar harmonies. Chris Wade is a real five-driver on banjo; and Jacob Eller is on string bass. We're happy to have you at this years Labor Day Weekend Festival! #bluegrass #festival ... See MoreSee Less
