   About High Ground Bluegrass
.. -------------Take four seasoned musicians, mix well, and what do you get? A high energy bluegrass band that sells out it's shows! High Ground has quickly gained a reputation as a professional, entertaining band. Four hot pickers and four great vocalist. Hang on! It's going to be a wild ride!------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bob Thompson-Promoter-D.C. Area If you weren't at 1090 Sterling Road in Herndon, Virginia last night, you missed a truly great show. HIGH GROUND was in concert at Holy Cross Lutheran Church and the boys from the Shenandoah Valley tore the place up with their hard driving instrumentals, wonderful vocal harmonies and great sense of humor to boot . If you haven't seen them perform --- shame on you --- get out more ... Thanks to Rick Altis, Jim Almarode, Bryan Plemmons and Larry Taylor - HIGH GROUND - you're always welcome at our house!------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Clyde Scott BluegrassRadio.org "I kinda excited about a new group called High Ground.. They have a new CD that is really good stuff..!!" High Ground- "Artists Of The Month" October 2005 We are honored to have you as our 'Artist Of The Month' at Bluegrass Radio.

THE VOCALS ARE RIGHT ON AND INSTRUMENTATION IS SOLID GOOD BLUEGRASS! YOU GUYS ARE VERY GRASSY AND I WILL PLAY YOU ON ALL MY RADIO SHOWS........Gracie---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jimmie Skinner-Promoter-Ohio---- Bluegrass Junction was recently privileged to have a very exciting band perform for us that had the crowd rocking with their first song. By the second song people were asking when can we have them back, ''This band is awesome" was a comment we heard a lot that night. The High Ground band is smooth as silk. They have excellent timing, their vocals are great and we sure are glad that they came to Bluegrass Junction We highly recommend High Ground band to any promoter that wants a very Exciting high energy band. Thanks Rick, Jimmy, Bryan & Larry for a great show.
