By any measure, the Claire Lynch Band is high on the bluegrass world's A-List, with musicians whose accolades include two International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Female Vocalist of the Year awards and two Grammy nominations for Best Bluegrass Album (Claire); the MerleFest Doc Watson Guitar Champion (Matt Wingate); two IBMA Bass Player of the Year awards (Mark Schatz) and an unprecedented triple first-place win at the Winfield Kansas National Flatpicking Championship on guitar, fiddle and mandolin (Bryan McDowell)
Claire's musical direction dates back to the days of the Front Porch
String Band, resulting in a seasoned sound that is
In 2005 Claire struck her second 3-album deal with Rounder Records.
Since then, along with the help of these amazing musicians, she’s toured

multiple IBMA nominations. This most recent phase of her career received
an exclamation point in the wake of her newest release ( We are so glad that Claire is returning to the Pepsi Wyoming State BBQ Championship and Bluegrass Festival!! Checkout Claire's website for more information.

Jeff Scroggins and Colorado is a high energy, high mountain “bluegrass explosion,” that features the amazing banjo playing of Jeff Scroggins. Jeff’s fiery style and lightning fast licks have earned him many fans worldwide, and have left many a first time listener in stunned disbelief! It also features the award winning mandolin playing of Jeff’s son Tristan Scroggins. Tristan is also an accomplished songwriter, and his and Jeff’s original instrumentals play a large role in the band’s unique and energetic sound. The band also features incredible bluegrass vocals, led by the
powerful voice of front man Greg Blake. Greg has twice been nominated
for SPBGMA’s “Traditional Male Vocalist of the Year” award, and his
phenomenal bluegrass guitar playing has earned him 9 nominations and an
amazing 5 consecutive wins as SPBGMA’s Guitarist of the Year!

This amazing and talented group of young people have been performing outstanding Bluegrass and entertaining large crowds since there were pre-teens. The Tuttles with A J Lee feature two of the finest young singers in the country. Their dazzling instrumental contributions are a delight to everyone. When they returned to the Redwood Bluegrass Associates event, there were hailed as returning "Hometown Heroes" - and for good reason. This group has been part of that event several times so the attendees there have had the priviledge of watching them grow up on stag with consistent talent that continues to mature and grow musically. Long ago they surpassed the "pretty great for kids" handle, and would be described by anyone as a truly exceptional band. Not long ago, Molly won the Chris Austin Songwriting Contest at Merlefest with her original composition "Walden," and Molly and Jack were runners-up in the Prairie Home Companion duet contest. A J Lee was featured in a Mother Jones magazine article titled, "Could This Kid Be the Next Alison Krauss?" Jack was awarded a Lifetime Membership by the California Bluegrass Association. Their musical sources and repertoire are varied and ever-changing, but firmly rooted in bluegrass. Come on out and enjoy The Tuttles!
