   About Cumberland Gap Connection
Cumberland Gap Connection is a highly energetic bluegrass band with a sound all their own. This 4 piece group is comprised of musicians from Kentucky and Tennessee. Cumberland Gap Connection strives to take their driving style of bluegrass to the next level with aggressive instrumentation mixed with a distinctive vocal harmony style. CGC is currently in the studio working on their fourth project, which is being produced by Steve Gulley of the band Grasstowne, and has been dubbed already, by those who have had a sneak peek, as "by far the best music from the band to date". The previous project entitled "Grandpa's Swing", is still meeting with much success, as the song "Gravel Springs" has been in the Top 10 on the Bluegrass Now Fan's Choice Top 20 charts eight of the previous nine months, earning the No. 1 spot in bluegrass for the months of July and September 2008. While continuing in the tradition of playing some of the "old standard" songs in bluegrass, CGC prides themselves in performing as much original material as possible. The band does this not only for the sake of being different, but just to be who they are, musicians with the common goal of pleasing fans and promoters by doing what they love to do.
