As a testament to what can happen in a town with a vibrant musical community, the Burlington Street Bluegrass Band began with a loosely structured, weekday house-band gig at the Mill in Iowa City. The individual players admired each others work, and wanted an opportunity to play together more regularly. The weeks have turned into a couple of years of playing this way, and their little secret is starting to get out. With about two hundred years of professional experience between them, and some pretty darn impressive musical resumes, the band is a collection of some of Iowa’s most treasured musicians. Featuring Dale Thomas on dobro, Alan Murphy on fiddle, Bob Black on banjo, Aleta Murphy on standup bass, Joe Peterson on mandolin, and Mark Wilson on guitar, the band has found time between their own individual projects and is now writing a new chapter of Midwestern musical history. They play bluegrass and country music straight-up, with hot pickin’, harmonizing, and good humor.
