Miles Over Mountainshttp://www.milesovermountains.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I-QbWsO2xuQ“Hailing from McHenry, IL, Miles Over Mountains plays a modernized style of bluegrass or “newgrass/jamgrass” that covers a wide spectrum of dynamics and feeling. Their live catalogue draws from their first two records “Five Star Heart Breaker” (2015), “Ballads & Burners” (2017), and their upcoming third full length album “Work Harder Not Smarter” (2020). In addition their cover selections are testaments to where bluegrass/roots influence can take music from outside the genre, with lovingly selected takes on their hero’s songs served up in their own furious fashion.
The band has been performing, touring, and making records since early 2014 playing an average of 120 shows per year. The band looks with excitement and hungry ambition towards 2020 when they’ll be releasing and touring in support of their new record.”
The Banjo Joe Showhttps://whistlepigs.bandcamp.com/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjlGs7SccG0
”I’m a Williamson county boy from southern Illinois and my great, great, great grandpa moved here from Tennessee...” Banjo Joe has played banjo for about fifteen years and toured nationally with the band, The Whistle Pigs. He played over 1,000 shows in 31 states traveling 50,000 miles a year, sometimes. Had a few booking agents and a record deal. He wrote the songs for two Whistle Pigs albums, Long Term Plan (2009) and Bless Your Hearts and Livers (2010).
Influenced by hillbilly greats like Uncle Dave Macon, Grandpa Jones, Woody Guthrie and other singers of truth and masters of backwoods entertainment, but his songs and banjo picking are his own. “I never liked copying others, so I took my Papa’s advice to “make it ring” when he handed me his old banjo as my inheritance and adopted a simple two finger style with a drop thumb lead. He also sold me his old pickup truck for cheap and with that I took my music and started moving on down the line.”
