Bio
Broken Valley Roadshow is a mess of folks who haven't forgotten that bluegrass is country music. Mandolin player Nate Biehl started piecing the group together in 2002 when he and his sister Angie Biehl, hit the “big city” of Missoula to attend the University of Montana. Guitar player Caroline Keys and banjo player Matt Cornette met at a BBQ in 2001 and discovered that they were both deeply enamored with John Hartford and Nate Biehl recruited those two after picking with them in a chilly (even in the summertime) cabin outside of town. Scott Parker, a University of Montana ceramics student by day, joined the group on bass in 2010. Missoula's favorite fiddler Grace Decker, of Cash for Junkers fame, rounds out the ranks of fabulous BVR pickers. These days BVR's members are all active in other bands around Missoula as well: Matt plays in The Lil' Smokies, Caroline plays in old time stringband Wise River Mercantile, Angie, Nate, and Grace play in Cash for Junkers, and Angie and Caroline both play in Stellarondo and The New Hijackers. Since BVR's first packed Missoula gig, they have been winning audiences at clubs, theaters, and festivals across the country and in Canada. In 2007 the band represented the USA at the Nanning International Folk Song Arts Festival in China. The energy of their show smacks of Jimmy Martin, their ingenuity recalls Hank Williams, and shoot, those gals sing as high and lonesome as Bill Monroe under a full Kentucky moon. Like contemporary groups Foghorn Stringband, and The Wilders, BVR seeks not nostalgia for days gone by, but a bona fide connection with the relevance of yesterday's music in today's complicated world. Broken Valley Roadshow's signature harmonies, smoking instrumentals, and gospel numbers create an atmosphere that'll inspire you to bring along your Bible, your whiskey, and your Grandma. .. .. .. .. ..BVR on stage in China...... .. .. .. .. ......Add to My Profile.. | ..More Videos.. .. .......... .. ............Myspace Layouts...... ....Myspace Codes...... ....Myspace Generators...... ....Myspace Backgrounds...... ..
