North Carolina has always been a haven for bluegrass music. It’s rich history continues to foster and create many talented players and singers. Several of these talents have come together to form an impressive new group, Dry Run Bluegrass Band. Dry Run has already been the winner of numerous bluegrass conventions, performs at festivals and venues around the Southeast, and performs frequently on television and radio. The group was recently honored to have an original song, “Nights Turn to Tears” , featured on The Blueridge Express show at radio station CKWR 98.5 FM. Traditional, NewGrass, and original music is performed, with influences ranging from Jimmy Martin to Tony Rice. Rich vocals and great instrumentation help to provide an exciting and dynamic Dry Run show.
