UNCLE EARL Visiting Australia for the first time Uncle Earl skillfully complement their deep roots in traditional American music with new ideas, songs, and arrangements, the "all g'Earl" string band has emerged as one of the leading lights in the ongoing old-time renaissance. Now entering the band's tenth year, long time Uncle Earl members KC Groves and Kristin Andreassen are leading a new formation of the band that has influenced a remarkable new generation of old-time musicians. With the addition of the hard-driving 23-year-old fiddle player Stephanie Coleman and the accomplished multi-instrumentalist Paula Bradley on banjo and clogging (Paula has toured with Bruce Molsky and Tony Trischka), the band continues to develop its unique sound - a hybrid of contemporary and modern, with all the members committed to music steeped in tradition and yet unafraid to explore new frontiers. STOP PRESS- Sharon Gilchrist, (longtime former member of Uncle Earl) will be joining the tour on bass and vocals.

It recreates the sound of perhaps the last genre of music to evolve using only acoustic instruments, before electric guitars and other amplified instruments took centre stage - Bluegrass. The band lineup is traditional 5 piece instrumentation plus the essential of all great blue grass music, a top vocal line up lead by Chris Jacobs who is surely the best bluegrass singer in the country. The repertoire includes original compositions, tunes by modern bluegrass 'traditionalists' such as the Johnson Mountain Boys, and of course classic compositions from bluegrass pioneers such as Bill Monroe, Earl Scruggs, Lester Flatt, the Stanley Brothers and more. Bluestone Junction's performances have excitement, passion and integrity. They mostly perform as the music's originators did, around a single valve powered large plate condenser microphone that accurately captures the complete performance.
