Kentucky Rain On The Pickin' Porch Show

Today's picture features Kentucky Rain, a fine Bluegrass music band from Harlan, Kentucky. These very talented young singers and musicians treated the audience at this week's Pickin' Porch Show to plenty of fast-paced instrumental work and finely-tuned harmonies on several old Bluegrass and Country music favorites including the A.P. Carter classic "Will The Circle Be Unbroken" and the legendary Johnny Cash's smash hit "Folsom Prison Blues". Everyone had a great time listening to some great live music! It's hard to believe that so much rich sound can come from just a guitar, a banjo and a standup bass, but these guys really know how to pick...and their singing isn't bad either! Cheria and I had the opportunity to see them a couple of times last summer at the Tuesday night Bluegrass concerts under the Country Music mural on State Street, so we were thrilled to see them take the stage at the Pickin' Porch on Thursday night. Kentucky Rain is yet another prime example of the huge number of excellent young Bluegrass groups that are helping keep this wonderful music alive and growing in our region. If you love Bluegrass and Old-Time music, we invite you to come out to the Pickin' Porch, the Carter Fold, or anywhere else that live music is performed. You're sure to have a great time and the bands will be very happy to see you! Picture Of The Day Homepage | Submit a photo More Interesting Articles
