Rock Island Plow Company
This Bluegrass group
was formed in 2004 with a group of veteran musicians. Each member has an
extensive personal musical background which includes rock-n-roll,
country and bluegrass music. This variety of talent has formed a strong
foundation for the high-energy technical music that they play together
today. With a strong commitment for maintaining the classic bluegrass
style performed by Flatt and Scruggs and Bill Monroe in the early days
of bluegrass, coupled with the interest in newer bluegrass music written
for today’s audience. Rock Island Plow Company has been playing at local
venues and festivals since their inception, and continues to increase
their fan base at each show. The group strives to revitalize listeners
to those songs which may have been forgotten since the early days of
bluegrass, and make them once again the favorites of fans as they were
in former days. At the same time, they respect where bluegrass is today
and perform favorites from such groups as The Lonesome River Band and
Country Gentlemen. Rock Island Plow Company will continue to impress
show-goers and keep them coming back for more |
