Influences
Ralph Stanley, Alison Krauss, Tim O'Brien, Stanley Brothers, Larry Sparks, Beatles, Johnson Mt Boys, Mahalia Jackson, Bonnie Raitt, and Scruggs and Flatts
One banjo, one fat acoustic bass and three voices in close, Appalachia laced harmony: that's the essential Tumbleweed. On a stage as on their new CD's, the eye and ear are drawn first to the two sisters, Cathy-Anne on lead vocals and Trisha on bass and lead vocals. Third vocalist, Chris, is the banjo/guitar player picking and rolling his infectious rhythms over everything from a gospel classic to an aching, orignial tune to something Kentucky and traditional to a sweetly re-arranged Beatles' chestnut. Some amazing talented friends join in when they can and are always part of the extended family but the essence always remains, one banjo, one fat acoustic bass and three voices in close Appalachia laced harmony: That's Tumbleweed.

NEW MUSIC, HERE & NOW!!!
Just wanted to let you know I've been hard at work in the studio for my long overdue sophomore album, and have just posted a new track for you to preview. The song is called "SLOW ME DOWN" and it's a demo that I did at home, co-written by the very talented Johnny Reid! I am so excited about the new album that I just couldn't wait to share SOMETHING with everybody, so I hope you enjoy this little "sneak peak"!!
I look forward to hearing from you about the track, and encourage you to check out the new pictures I've put up.
Hope you are having a great week!
