Click Here -> http://www.wsmradio.com <- to listen to Mountain Heart and a surprise guest live tonight at The Grand Ole Opry on WSM Radio ~ Josh Shilling, Jim VanCleve, Clay Jones, Jason Moore, Barry Abernathy, Aaron Ramsey ~ See also: http://www.mountainheart.com, http://www.myspace.com/mountainheartoffi
Mountain Heart is the band that has been fearlessly revolutionizing the way acoustic music can be presented and played. The band's name has been synonymous with cutting-edge excellence in acoustic music circles since the group's creation in 1999. Widely known throughout... the music industry for continually redefining the cutting edge, the band has gained legions of fans both as a result of their superlative musicianship, and more notably, their incomparably exciting live performances. As one of the most highly awarded ensembles ever assembled, Mountain Heart, or members of the band, have either won or been nominated for multiple Grammys, ACM, CMA, and IBMA Awards. They have appeared on the revered stage of the Grand Ole Opry in excess of 100 times and have shared the stage with acts ranging from Lynyrd Skynyrd, Montgomery Gentry, George Jones, Merle Haggard, and Brad Paisley to Alison Krauss, Tony Rice, Travis Tritt, Yonder Mountain Stringband, LeAnn Rimes, and Patty Loveless. Mountain Heart's musical virtuosity, unmatched energy, and keen sense of entertainment dynamics have helped them to forge a highly unique sound, and stage show, which appeals to an incredibly wide variety of musical tastes. From large outdoor folk music and bluegrass festivals, to sold-out arena shows opening for Southern Rock icons, Lynyrd Skynyrd, to co-headlining concerts with the acoustic guitar legend, Tony Rice, Mountain Heart always makes an undeniable connection to an audience, leaving them on their feet. In short, this rare comibination of abilities makes Mountain Heart one of the most versatile acts ever assembled. As the group leading the charge in taking acoustic music to the masses, Mountain Heart deftly combines elements of rock, jamband, country, blues, jazz, and bluegrass into a high-energy sound that is at once fresh, accessible, and unmistakeable. Barry Abernathy Myspace: www.myspace.com/barryabernathy Winner of 1997's Banjo Player of the Year award from the Society for the Preservation of Blue Grass Music in America, Barry began his career performing bluegrass gospel with Silver Creek, but first came to national attention as a member of one of the decade's hottest bluegrass bands, IIIrd Tyme Out. From 1994 to 1998, the Georgia-born banjo player/lead vocalist was a featured member of Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, recording five albums with the award-winning ensemble. Barry's heartfelt and earthy vocal tones are in perfect compliment to Josh's soaring tenor lines and his banjo playing defies logic, considering he has no fingers on his left hand. Barry's on-stage demeanor is one of the cornerstones for Mountain Heart's exciting live performances. Jim VanCleve Official Website: www.jimvancleve.com Myspace: www.myspace.com/jimvancleve Fiddler Jim Van Cleve has already achieved more than many musicians do in a lifetime, and with the release of his solo debut, No Apologies, the dynamic youngster has taken a bold step forward. Producing, arranging, performing, and sharing in the writing credits for more than half of the CD's eleven selections, Jim has created a collection of unusual depth and breadth that can only enhance his reputation as one of the leading musicians of his generation. No Apologies was one of the most critically acclaimed albums of the year, garnering a 2006 Grammy Nomination, an IBMA Instrumental Album of the Year Nomination for 2007, and taking "Album of the Year" honors in the Folk Music category of the Indie Acoustic Awards. Following the success of his album, Jim was nominated as IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year. As one of the most in-demand session musicians in Nashville, Jim has played on countless recordings. He played a prominent role as fiddler on the 2004 Country Album of the Year Livin', Lovin', Losin': The Songs Of The Louvin Brothers, winning him his first Grammy. He also recorded fiddle for a smash-hit single drawn from American Idol winner, Carrie Underwood's Some Hearts (2005)-his first participation in a multi-platinum seller. As one of the original members of Mountain Heart, Jim has become well-known for the intense energy, charisma, and dazzling musicianship he brings to the stage. Jason Moore Myspace: www.myspace.com/jasonmooremh Mountain Heart's bassist belies his youth with a deep well of experience and mastery of bluegrass. First introduced to national audiences as a bandmember with an earlier IBMA Emerging Artist, James King, Moore has become a first-call recording musician, gracing the IBMA award-winning Knee Deep In Bluegrass (which also featured Adam Steffey), as well as IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year Michael Cleveland's solo albums, which have also won recorded event of the year a number of times. Jason has become one of the genre's premiere bassists and is in high demand in the studio these days. His enthusiastic and spirited demeanor on stage are infectious! Josh Shilling Official Website: www.joshshilling.com Myspace: www.myspace.com/joshshillingmusic Versatile singer/songwriter Josh Shilling boasts an impressive combination of experience and musicianship, belying his youth. Only 24 years-old, Shilling's musical forays have been diverse and considerable, ranging from jazz and funk-tinged ensembles to soul and contemporary country, jam-band and folk projects. 2007 found Shilling joining Mountain Heart. His robust vocals, evolving signature piano stylings and nimble guitar work enhance the group's rich acoustic sound. The same year, Shilling wrote or co-wrote all of the four new songs featured on the group's live album, The Road that Never Ends, including project's title track, which reached the forth slot on Billboard's bluegrass chart. Mountain Heart's January 2007 appearance on the Grand Ole Opry introduced Shilling to an eagerly receptive crowd; after performing one of his original songs, he earned a standing ovation and encore that evening - a rarity and intoxicating distinction for any artist on that revered stage. Aaron Ramsey Official Website: www.aaronramseyonline.com At the age of 24, Aaron Ramsey has been immersed in playing music for over half his life. Bass was his first instrument, but mandolin is his musical love. Aaron began playing mandolin at the age of 12 and by 13 was participating in his Dad's Gospel group, Damascus Road. Then, he won the MerleFest mandolin competition at the age of 17 in 2002. He was a founding member of The Linville Ridge Band, playing mandolin and guitar from 2002 through early 2006. In March of 2006, he became a member of Randy Kohrs' band, the Lites, playing bass. Later that year, he moved to the mandolin and recorded mandolin and bass on several cuts of Randy's two most recent recordings, I'm Torn and Old Photographs. As a member of the Lites, Aaron also got to contribute his mandolin playing to the 2006 IBMA Album of the Year, Celebration of Life: Musicians Against Childhood Cancer. In the fall of 2007, Aaron was called on to fill-in for Adam Steffey with Mountain Heart. Later, Barry Abernathy said given the short notice, he could not have asked for Aaron's playing to have been any better. Barry was impressed. In December of 2007 Aaron followed Josh Shilling's lead, from earlier that year, as he played his first official gig with Mountain Heart, on the stage of the Ryman Auditorium on The Grand Ole Opry.

My show is every Saturday and Sunday mornings at 3 AM in the east and Midnight in the west and again on every Saturday and Sunday nights at 10 PM in the east and 7 PM in the west.

You can hear these anytime and I'd be honored to have you as a guest. If you play bluegrass, I'd love to play your music on my show. I love playing music from bands who may not be known by everyone. There is a ton of great music that gets played on weekends and I would be thrilled to share it with everyone. We are in a small market for our radio station but with my shows archived on my personal website I am getting between 1, 000 and 1, 5000 visitors a day to hear my show. God has blessed me with a small tool to help spread the message of Jesus Christ. Our website is a great place to tune in to hear the shows. The sound is cd quality and is a great way to make an hour fly by at work, lol! Our website is at www.smokingbluegrass.com . All the songs I play on the BGGH comes from my personal library.

Red White and Bluegrass Festival Ashley Davis joined the Pie in September 2008. Given time to develop, Ashley has the potential to be a fiddle super star. While she is a mere 20 years old, she plays like a seasoned veteran. Ashley began her musical journey when her mother began teaching her piano. It wasn't until age 12 when she saw the movie, "O' Bro...ther Where Art Thou?" that she got the bluegrass bug. "When I heard the song "Man of Constant Sorrow", I was hooked!" She started listening to bluegrass on the radio and buying albums from Alison Krauss and Rhonda Vincent.

Red White and Bluegrass Festival Crystal Richardson grew up on the sounds of southern gospel music. Her family traveled to bluegrass and gospel shows on the weekends and her dad , Bobby Franklin (DJ and MC), introduced her to many of the legends in the business.
