The Alum Ridge Boys and Ashlee (Virginia, USA)

"They've got it - that primal, but elegant approach to their instruments, and their remarkable vocal blend that only comes out of a deep and undeniable love for old time country music.”
- Marshall Wilborn (The Johnson Mountain Boys, Bluegrass Hall of Fame)

Mining the fertile common ground between bluegrass, early country music, and traditional mountain music, The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee are Virginia’s torchbearers of the old time sound.

Deep knowledge and appreciation for traditional music enables the band to craft tasteful original songs and instrumentals that blend seamlessly alongside the classics. The Alum Ridge Boys & Ashlee cut no corners when it comes to real, hard hitting, old time country music - an approach that is quickly gaining them loyal followers far beyond the reaches of their Virginia mountain home.
