   About Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising
Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising hit the music scene hard and fast and have not slowed down one bit over the years. . . . in fact, they continually pick up speed!

This group of songwriters is catching the ear of the listening audience and in late 2008 had not one but TWO members nominated for Roots Music Association Bluegrass Songwriter of the Year (member Dennis Nelson currently carries the title as winner of this catagory).

KBPR is all about the stories, and stories are what you get with their original material, culled from their individual and collective observations of life.

KBPR has also enjoyed recognition by being featured in the 2009 "Artists for a Cause" calendar, by being the August 2009 MyStage "Featured Bluegrass Artist of the Month", and by receiving continued weekly airplay of both CD's around the world.

Whether it's the high mournful old-country sound of Dennis Nelson, the storytelling baritone of Tom Tower, the vocal and instrumental virtuosity of Tim Crosby or the high energy sincerity of Kathy Boyd herself, this band offers something for everyone.

The bands goal is to continue to grow and expand our performance area.

Watch this band, it's going places!
