We draw from many different influences and thus, have crafted a well rounded and hard drivin', "progressively traditional" sound that is enhanced with crisp vocal harmonies for that "High Lonesome Sound".
Mama Corn is a five piece bluegrass outfit based out of Blair County, Pennsylvania that delivers a hard-driving, “progressively traditional” bluegrass sound. Despite musical backgrounds as varied as rock, jazz, blues, country and gospel, the members of Mama Corn have concentrated their efforts on their shared passion for bluegrass music. As newcomers to the festival circuit, they have cut their teeth playing working-class honkytonks, honing their skills to acquire the best possible marriage of crisp vocal harmony and picking prowess. Comprised of guitarist Bruce Forr, Jeremy Nelson on banjo, Brad Floyd playing mandolin, bassist Kelly Montgomery, and John Stevens on the dobro, the members of Mama Corn promise something for everyone from the young pups to the old paps.
Here's the link to that music festival just outside of Brookville I was telling you about. Lots of jam bands, Americana, and similar music. I already have plans and won't be attending, but maybe you or some of your friends might be interested in going. $25 ticket for the weekend (or $35 at the door) also includes free camping, I believe.
thanx gang. I am friends with and videographer for the Weedhawks, Sunshine Family Band and the Hillbilly Gypsies...i do hope to see you guys somewhere sometime this summer..
