ABOUT

The Old-Time Sound

Mining the fertile common ground between bluegrass, early country music, and traditional mountain music, The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee are Virginia’s torchbearers of the old-time sound. Featuring the classic quintet of fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar, and bass, the band comprises five masterful musicians and singers who have immersed themselves in the dance music traditions of the Blue Ridge region and developed a deeply rooted old time bluegrass sound. The band crafts their own tasteful original songs and instrumentals that blend seamlessly alongside the classics, and their engaging performances and powerful harmony singing have captivated audiences around the globe and earned the band top awards at prominent festivals throughout the Appalachian region. The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee cut no corners when it comes to real, hard hitting, old-time country music - an approach that is gaining them loyal followers far beyond the reaches of their Virginia mountain home.
