Bluegrass Wednesdays ft. Maple Hill at Red Bird

EVENT HIGHLIGHTS

ABOUT THIS EVENT

Each month Bluegrass Wednesdays begins with a 2 hour concert followed by a jam session. Always a good time - always a good crowd! Maple Hill is an award winning bluegrass band that brings energy, emotion, fun and the lost art of entertainment to their show. Built on the foundation that "it's all about the song", the band delivers powerful vocals with strong supportive instrumental backup rooted in a traditional sound.  Maple Hill covers the full range of bluegrass from the early hard-edge blues through gospel and on to today’s great songwriters, including original compositions. The band is comprised of co-founders Garry Greenland (guitar & vocals) and Pat Moore (bass and vocals), Kevin Golka (mandolin & vocals) and Sean Lundy (banjo). Garry, Pat and Kevin share the lead and harmony vocals, keeping things fresh and interesting throughout the performance.  That said, Pat’s unique ability to distinctively “sing-the-story” is always a crowd favourite.Over these last few years Maple Hill has honed a sound whose foundation is Garry’s solid driving guitar coupled with Kevin’s honkin’ mandolin work - the perfect fit for the bluesy driving rhythm that sets Maple Hill apart from others.  Pat’s traditional slap style bass gets both band and audience in a great groove, and Sean’s banjo will bring a smile to hardcore and new bluegrass audiences everywhere. Heart, drive, deep blues, inspiration, a tight vocal blend, fun filled interplay, and an intimate relationship with the audience are some of the things that describe a Maple Hill performance.
