Family bluegrass on tap Wednesday
May 12, 2008
Stuart’s Opera House will feature Grammy-nominated Bluegrass act Cherryholmes this Wednesday at 8 p.m.
Cherryhomes formed in April of 1999. In 2005, the members were named IBMA’s Entertainers of the Year.
Every member takes a turn singing. Their live shows include twin fiddles, Irish step dancing, classic country yodeling, and old-time claw hammer in addition to bluegrass.
Cherryholmes was nominated for a Grammy in 2006 for their first commercial release “Cherryholmes.” Their second release on Skaggs Family Records, “Cherryholmes II,” was released in June 2007 and opened up at number one on the BillBoard Charts.
The band is also a regular at the historic Grand Ole Opry.
“People say that bluegrass music has to change or evolve or it will die. Well, if you change something from one thing to another, it isn’t alive anyway,” said band leader Jere Cherryholme in a press release. “I don’t really think it needs to be changed. It just needs new life breathed into it. I feel like maybe I’m offering that with my family.”
