Ralph Stanley’s voice is not of this century nor of the last one, for that matter. Its stark emotional urgency is rooted in a darker time, when pain was the common coin of life and the world offered sinful humanity no hope of refuge. Preserved in the cultural amber of remote Appalachia, this terse, forlorn sound is the bedrock of Stanley’s inimitable and legendary style. But don’t mistake an ancient voice for ancient ways. Stanley tours and performs with the vigor and elan of a rock star. So respected is Stanley as a musical stylist that dozens of other major artists have recorded duets with him, among them Bob Dylan, George Jones, Vince Gill, Emmylou Harris, Ricky Skaggs and Porter Wagoner.

With their roots based in bluegrass, Celtic, and jazz music, Cherryholmes has stormed to the top of the music world since winning the 2005 International Bluegrass Music Association Award for Entertainer of the Year. They hit the stage with hard-driving instrumental virtuosity and explosive vocal harmonies. Add their fluidity of instrumental movement and dance, and it's a look and sound that can only be described as "Cherryholmes."
