"The Bulgur Mountain Band"
The Bulgur Mountain Band is a family band who only recently took interest in playing music. We have been raised attending the churches of Christ, thus singing acappella comes natural to each of us. The family consists of Cecil & Lisa Smith, one son, Aubrey, and two daughters, Kaylee & Sophie. Cecil is originally from Brookhaven, MS, where he made his living for a few years repairing cars for Auto Care Center. The last twelve years he has been preaching throughout the country in gospel meetings. Due to preaching, they have lived in Milltown, IN, Marion, LA, and Orleans, IN, and have many friends and brethren throughout the country. Lisa grew up just North of Morrilton, AR. She married at the tender age of 18 in the year 1994 after meeting Cecil at a gospel meeting in Lebanon, MO. She has been a home-maker ever since, and enjoys her time with her children. She also is currently home schooling her children as well as playing and writing music. In 1996, Aubrey was born to this union in Louisville, KY. Following him two years later, Kaylee was also born in Louisville, KY. Two and one half years later, Sophie was born in Monroe, LA.
Their first venture into playing music was when Aubrey was given his first fiddle from his "pops" with the requirement that he was given lessons. After moving to Indiana a few years ago, he started learning to play under the oversight of Tim Key. Not long after he started, Tim told his parents that one of them also needed to start playing to help encourage Aubrey. About that time, Lisa's grandfather passed away, who had a tremendous impact upon her life. Her father came to visit looking for a new mandolin and they ventured over to Louisville to First Quality Music. She fell for an Eastman oval hole, purchased it and immediately began playing. A year or so later, back in First Quality Music, she purchased her Gibson which she loves dearly. Cecil wound up buying a Martin D16 and started working on learning how to play. Later, in a little store in Pickle's Gap Village, he found a John Hartford Deering banjo, and since has grown to enjoy playing the banjo, it being his instrument of choice. Tim set the family up for their first "gig" at the Lotus Dickey Festival in Paoli, IN, and they were on their way. Kaylee later started to play the guitar and all take turns in the singing department. Most of the music they play is written by Lisa (check out the following story about "Lay In My Arms) and they have had numerous opportunities to play in their area of Indiana.
The BULGUR MOUNTAIN BAND have also combined with other members of Lisa's family, the WHITE OAK MOUNTAIN RAMBLERS, under the name PINE HILL (POPULATION 21) and cut their first CD, "The Land That Was." It is a great CD filled with all original music that ties in with the family story. The Bulgur Mountain Band, White Oak Mountain Ramblers, and the Pine Hill (Population 21) hope you enjoy their music and ask that you will tell a friend to stop by for a look and listen.
