A joyous evening of Bluegrass Gospel and holiday favorites!
Loads of brand new material, 4 part harmonies and A cappella!
Southern Rail, one of the most beloved performing groups to appear at Homegrown Coffeehouse, brings a Bluegrass lens to the musical celebrations of Christmas.
Southern Rail’s bluegrass is high octane exuberant fun with stunning harmonies, irrepressible good humor and sparkling banjo, guitar and mandolin. Their repertoire is fresh and diverse, featuring lots of originals plus a kaleidoscope of covers (Paul Simon, Crosby Stills and Nash, Mavis Staples, Earl Scruggs).
The group has 11 recordings to their credit, one of which (an early Gospel compilation entitled “Glory Train”) was nominated for “Gospel Recording of the Year” by the International Bluegrass Music Association. The band’s two founding members, guitarist Jim Muller and bassist Sharon Horovitch, were recently inducted by the RIBA (Rhode Island Bluegrass Alliance) into their Bluegrass Hall of Fame. The group is rounded out by two talented musicians: banjoist Rich Stillman and mandolinist John Tibert.
