    What others are saying about "Me and The Jukebox":.. .."Many thanks for sending us a copy of your debut "Me & the Jukebox" -- and what a sparkling debut it is! This is the real deal--tough, gritty, edgy grass that really does bring back memories of days gone by when bluegrass had more testosterone and power. You all have not only perfected that classic sound Red, Buzz and Charlie, but have taken it one step further with your many originals and inspired covers. I especially enjoyed "Smoke Filled Honky Tonk," "Wolf is at the Door," "Jukejoint Boogie" and "Upstairs in the Bedroom." I think you all have definitely carved out a much needed niche for yourselves and that you have a promising future in front of you. I know I'll be doing my best to spread the word." -Dave Higgs Nashville Public Radio...Host of "Bluegrass Breakdown".. .. "We receive promo pacs with demos to listen to all the time. We listen to them all (at least the first cut) but most just get filed away to never be heard again. However, every now and then we get a real gem that goes into constant rotation on our player. This is the case with Avery County's new project, "Me And The Jukebox". The CD is a "concept album" focusing on the darker side of the Baltimore barroom scene of the 1960's. The material maintains continuity and is mostly original or great obscure "deep catalog" songs that I don't recall hearing before. The 4 piece band has developed their own consistent style which seems to be a rare thing these days. Both the banjo and mandolin are played with a unique bluesy style throughout the recording. Robert Overstreet uses a lot of very tasteful Reno type licks on the banjo and Travers Chandler takes Monroe to another level with his syncopated percussive blues style mandolin playing. There is an abundance of really cool fill licks that aspiring pickers should check out. Hank Bowman on the guitar and Adam Poindexter on the bass do an outstanding job of supporting the vocals and lead instruments. The project has a clean and uncluttered sound and is not overproduced like so many are. I highly recommend this album to any moldy figs who are looking for the real deal." -Andy Alexander "Pickin in the pasture" Lodi NY.. .. “One of the best albums I have ever heard” James King ..

    Hi Travers,
    It is a great day to be alive!
    Thanks for including me!

    What Question can I ask to empower myself and others?
    What new thought can I notice now to add to my creativity?
    How can I improve the experience of those I encounter today?
    What can I do to facilitate your Gift?

    Yesterday Is History
    Tomorrow is a Mystery
    Today is a Gift...
    That's why we call it the Present

    Blessings,
