JAMES KING BAND (Kentucky)
The current King of Southern-style bluegrass returns to the Plough & Stars for a night of old time bluegrass and Southern hospitality.
~James King started his long bluegrass career when legendary bluegrass deejay Ray Davis paired him with Ralph Stanley for two mid-'80s releases, Stanley Brothers Classics and Reunion.
~In 1988, King released his first record under his own name, James King Sings Cold, Cold World.
~In the mid-90s James formed the James King Band and was named emerging artists of the year by the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) in 1997.
~James King Band made their recording debut with 1998's "Bed by the Window". Its gripping, bittersweet title track -- about a man in a nursing home with a vivid imagination -- was nominated for IBMA's 1999 song of the year award.
~James King is also a member of the bluegrass supergroup Longview, along with Connell, Don Rigsby, Joe Mullins, Glen Duncan and Marshall Wilborn.
~Their self-titled 1997 debut was named recorded event of the year by the IBMA. The second Longview album, High Lonesome, arrived in 1999, followed by Lessons in Stone in 2002.
~James King released 30 Years of Farming in 2002. The album featured the James King Band as the supporting instrumentalists, with a potent blend of classic bluegrass, hard core country and contemporary song craft.
~James King’s brand new release is out now!

WINDY HILL (Bay Area)
Not your typical bluegrass band; the boys of Windy Hill did not grow up in the deep rolling hills of Virginia, nor grow up listening to the Bill Monroe or the Stanley Brothers on an old fashioned AM radio. However, you couldn't tell this from listening to this fabulous band -- they show sincere enthusiasm for traditional bluegrass music. The young, fresh players take on a 70+ year old musical genre and pull it off like no other. Whenever they play, they bring it! And look and sound the part -- as if they are playing a 1940s dance hall.
