You will also get to enjoy 7 of the songs during hour two of the show.

In addition to the Knee-Deep Artist Spotlight, we have a new feature, sponsored by the Mast Farm Inn. Each week, I will profile a North Carolina Artist.

2011-09-22T08:57:00.005-04:00

This week's Knee-Deep In Bluegrass finds Cody Shuler, leader of Pine Mountain Railroad, in the Knee-Deep Artist Spotlight. Cody has a project that was released earlier this year that features six originals of his, as well as six more that fit his style very well. Along with the core members, Cody Shuler, Jerry Cole and Bryan Turner, this CD also showcases the talents of guests Ron Stewart, Terry Baucom, Aubrey Haynie, Rob Ickes and more. This CD has been gaining popularity as evidenced by the increase in calls from promoters to book the band. Cody talks about the musical transition that took place after he was in a position to take over management and ownership of the band. Their style is unmistakably straight-forward, hard-driving BLUEGRASS. We will feature cuts from the self-titled project and also spend time talking about Cody's songwriting style.

Congratulations World of Bluegrass Winners!

2011-09-07T16:07:00.002-04:00

Once again this year, Knee-Deep In Bluegrass had the opportunity to conduct two separate contests to send listeners to World of Bluegrass Week, presented by the International Bluegrass Music Association. The week includes a business conference trade show, IBMA Awards Show at the Ryman Auditorium and Bluegrass FanFest at the Nashville Convention Center. Each of the winners will receive 2 VIP tickets to the IBMA Awards Show for September 29, two VIP weekend passes for Bluegrass FanFest and 3 nights lodging in downtown Nashville at the host hotel, The Renaissance.

One winner was chosen from on-site entries at the Knee-Deep In Bluegrass booth at festivals this summer where I appeared. And the other from online entries through my website.

The first winner was CHARLES MOONEYHAM of Newport, Tennessee, who registered during the Red White and Bluegrass Festival this past July in Morganton, NC.

The next winner was KEVIN MILLER of West Jefferson, NC, who sent in an entry online after hearing the contest announced.

Congratulations to both Charles and Kevin. I look forward to seeing you and your guests in Nashville for World of Bluegrass!

Thanks to everyone who entered. I hope many of you will join us this year, September 26-October 2, 2011, for a great time. New price rates have been announced, as well as a different, welcoming atmosphere at the convention center. For details, please visit www.worldofbluegrass.org.

On behalf of my husband, Terry, thanks to the voting members of the International Bluegrass Music Association for a spot in the final nominee process for Banjo Player of the Year. Terry counts it a real honor to be named among the others, who he respects and admires. It has been a big year for us as "In A Groove" on the John Boy & Billy label was released and continues to move up the charts. It was a great time in the studio earlier this year, as I worked as producer of that recording. Here are a few highlights:

We are looking forward to the 22nd Annual IBMA Awards Show at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee, Thursday, September 29. Get your tickets before they sell-out! And join us for all the World of Bluegrass events in Nashville, September 26-October 2. More details at www.worldofbluegrass.org

We Will Miss You, Harley, Allen

2011-03-31T00:15:00.000-04:00

CMT.com-Singer-songwriter Harley Lee Allen died Wednesday (March 30) of cancer at his home in Nashville at age 55. His father was the late bluegrass singer Harley "Red" Allen. The younger Allen established himself musically in the 1980s via such albums as Across the Blueridge Mountains (released on Smithsonian Folkways in 1983, reissued in 2010) and Suzanne with Mike Lilly (Smithsonian Folkways, 1985 and 2007). In 1996, he released the country album Another River on PolyGram, which yielded no chart singles, and in 2001 Live at the Bluebird on the American Originals label. It was as a country songwriter, however, that Allen had his greatest successes, beginning in 1997 with Alan Jackson's No. 2 recording of "Between the Devil and Me." Then came such hits as "The Little Girl" (John Michael Montgomery, 2000), "The Baby" (Blake Shelton, 2002), "My Last Name" (Dierks Bentley, 2003), "Tough Little Boys" (Gary Allan, 2003), "Awful Beautiful Life" (Darryl Worley, 2004), "If Nobody Believed in You" (Joe Nichols, 2004) and "I'll Wait for You" (Joe Nichols, 2006). Allen is survived by his wife, two daughters and a son.

An Afternoon of Banjos!!!

2011-03-25T10:34:00.002-04:00

PRESS RELEASE

Galax, Virginia-An Afternoon with World Renowned Banjo Players to be presented at Historic Rex Theater, Galax, VA….
Banjo Masters, Stevie Barr, Jason Burleson, Joey Cox, Sammy Shelor, Terry Baucom, and Kyle Dean Smith will be showcased during a special Banjo Extravaganza, Saturday, April 2nd at 3:00 p.m.

Master of Ceremonies will be Cindy Baucom, host of syndicated radio show “Knee Deep In Bluegrass”.

The stellar lineup agreed to participate in this special presentation as a remembrance of fellow banjoist Houston Caldwell who was tragically killed in a motorcycle accident in April of 2010. All of the players knew Houston and were inspirations and mentors to him during his early years of learning to play banjo. Proceeds from the event will benefit HoustonFest which is being presented by Galax Volunteer Fire Department on May 6-7, 2011 at Felts Park in Galax.
The program will combine music and discussions from outstanding banjo players who will respond to questions and provide much of the history, context, and motivations behind their work. The “workshop”, defined as a kind of musical discussion will be conducted in a more casual intimate setting, providing the audience with the unique opportunity to not only get to know some of these amazing artists, but better understand some of the stories behind the music.

Key questions to be addressed include:
• What has been the impact of the banjo historically?
• What are the banjo’s roots, and what artistic elements of these roots remain in today’s playing?
• What are the differing styles and roles of the banjo in bluegrass and traditional music today?
• What lured these artists to the banjo?

More Info: Phone 276-236-9908

Banjo Extravaganza at the Rex Theater, 3pm, Saturday April 2, 2011

Admission $5 at the door

RenoFest This Weekend, Hartsville, SC

2011-03-23T11:37:00.004-04:00

As I was growing up, I heard a lot of banjo music at my house. My dad played and listened to music all the time. He really enjoyed the music of Don Reno. I am happy I got to hear so much of that wonderful Bluegrass from Don Reno growing up. As a teenager, I would see Don Reno and The Tennessee Cut-Ups at various Bluegrass Festivals. Terry and I are good friends with Don's sons-Ronnie, Dale and Don Wayne.

We appreciate the Hartsville Downtown Development Association for organizing RENOFEST each year in downtown Hartsville, South Carolina, to pay tribute to the life and talents of the late Don Reno (who was born in South Carolina).

RENOFEST is always the forth weekend in March-which is this weekend-March 25, 26 and 27. The festival features some fun elements like the Banjo, Guitar and Band Championships. Cash prizes and instruments are awarded to the winners ($1,500 for the Champion Band, as well as as performance spot on next year's festival). Banjo builder, Ronnie Bales, has provided the top Banjo prize. The top prize for the Guitar competition is a Guitar built especially for RENOFEST by luthier, Gerald Anderson. Gerald's band will also perform.

Other performances by host band, Ronnie Reno and The Reno Tradition, Kenny & Amanda Smith Band, The Boxcars and Lonesome Meadow. There is a vendor area with Bluegrass merchandise and so much more.

Hartsville, South Carolina is a beautiful town...especially in the Spring with all the blooming taking place!

Visit their website at www.renofest.com for all the details. I hope you can attend.

Thanks to RENOFEST for your recent sponsorship on "Knee-Deep In Bluegrass"!

In 2011: I Want To Be Like A Hammer...

2011-01-11T10:04:00.002-05:00

As a new year begins, it seems to get us thinking - usually of ways we can improve ourselves. I have the normal 'eat better and exercise more' attitude (again) this year, but something else occurred to me after seeing a simple statement somewhere. To really improve our lives, our attitude and our day to day, being like a hammer seems to be the best way to strive for.

The hammer keeps its head....doesn't fly off the handle.,,,keeps pounding away....finds the point, then drives it home. It looks at the other side, too, and clinches the matter. When the hammer makes mistakes, it starts all over.

So, KEEP POUNDING AWAY, folks!

GRASSWARE Has Your Next New Favorite Shirt!

2010-12-06T14:34:00.005-05:00

I discovered a Bluegrass company I wanted to suggest you check out. I love different Bluegrass shirt designs and I think these are really unique. But even more important than the look of the shirt is how it feels. They are made of organic cotton and they are super-soft. An eco-friendly dye is used, too. I was so impressed with the products of Grassware, that I wanted to share the information with my listeners. The designer is a Bluegrass musician who has a passion to professionally promote the music. I have listed the contact information below. What an easy way to get gifts for the Bluegrass lovers on your holiday gift list. Take a moment and check out GRASSWARE at their website: http://www.grassware.com They truly are 'Bluegrass Beyond The Barn'. Thanks!~CB

IBMA Report-Wednesday

2010-09-30T03:33:00.002-04:00

Terry and I are back to the room, after enjoying some great jamming in the suites this evening. Town Mountain...Frank Solivan & Dirty Kitchen...The Boxcars...The Dixie Beeliners.

I also got to do a little jamming with the guys from G2. How fun...

We appreciate the hospitality of Sugar Hill Records, Class Act Entertainment and Keith Case & Associates.

A lot of my day was spent at the historic Ryman Auditorium for sound checks and rehearsals for the 21st Annual International Bluegrass Music Awards Show. From Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out to the Sam Bush Band, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver (with a new lead singer-Mike Rogers) Claire Lynch Band and guests (triple fiddles of Jason Thomas, Aubrey Haynie and Mike Cleveland!) Judging by the run-through of The John Hartford musical tribute, this performance will be just incredible! Thanks to Alison Brown and Garry West from Compass Records for the help in coordinating all these wonderful artists to participate.

Jerry Douglas, Cheryl White nd Sharon White are naturals as hosts. Their personalities really came through at their rehearsal. I am so looking forward to the actual show Thursday evening.

Tomorrow I will be presenting the award to the Bluegrass Broadcaster of the Year at the IBMA Awards Luncheon at the Nashville Convention Center, then the reminder of the sound checks at the Ryman.

IBMA Report-Tuesday

2010-09-29T04:10:00.002-04:00

It has been another wonderfully busy day at the IBMA World of Bluegrass. Knee-Deep In Bluegrass has a booth in the Exhibit Hall and I was able to spend a good part of the day there. I recorded a couple of interviews for Knee-Deep In Bluegrass. The first was with band leader, Frank Solivan. The highlight of my day was visiting with one of Terry's former band mates from "Boone Creek", Steve Bryant. I also interviewed Steve about those days and that incredible music, as well as his work with J. D. Crowe and The New South. I attended an IBMA Awards Show dinner meeting, going over last minute details with script and technical elements. Following the meeting I caught back up with Terry so we get to the "Fisk Room" where Rural Rhythm Records was hosting the Bluegrass All-Star Jam showcase. I served as MC, while Terry was joined by fellow artists Tim Stafford, Kenny Smith, Amanda Smith, Rob Ickes, Sammy Shelor, Dale Ann Bradley, Steve Gulley, Kim Fox, Ron Stewart, Jesse Brock, Justin Moses, Missy Raines, Chris Jones, Don Rigsby and Tim Hensley. Awards Show rehearsals start tomorrow at the Ryman.

IBMA-Monday Report

2010-09-27T23:18:00.003-04:00

Hey everyone! Another busy day at the IBMA World of Bluegrass in Nashville. The IBMA Board met from 8:00 am - 5:30 pm. This evening's Keynote Address Dinner featured Sam Bush. Sam did a wonderful job addressing the crowd in the Nashville Convention Center Grand Ballroom. He started by talking about attending the 1965 Fincastle, Virginia Bluegrass Festival as an eager 13 year old. He was engaging and held the crowd's attention talking about Bill Monroe and The Bluegrass Boys over the years, as well as other musicians that made an impact on him: David Grisman, Roland White, Jimmy Gaudreau, John Duffey, Charlie Waller and more.

Following dinner, it was time for band rehearsal with "Sunset Drive". We have an Emerging Artist Showcase, sponsored by Mast Farm Inn on Friday (Terry, Ashby, Maro, Rachel and me)

I was also excited to become the newest endorser of NS Design Basses. More on the bass later in the week.

I still have a showcase to emcee before my day is fully complete.

It was fun to get to hang out for a bit with the Swedish Bluegrass Band, G2, as well as Shelly Burleson (Mrs. Jason Burleson of Blue Highway) and Rachel Johnson. Check back for another report from the IBMA World of Bluegrass. Thanks!~CB

Terry and I got to visit with our friends, Dr. Hironobu Oda and Maro Kawabata. I will be performing with Maro (as well as Terry, Ashby Frank and Rachel Johnson) and the band "Sunset Drive" Friday night at the Mast Farm Inn Emerging Artist Showcase. Plans are underway for a Bluegrass Tour to Japan with "Sunset Drive" in 2011, as well as shows in the United States. More about this showcase later in the week.

I proudly represent Bluegrass Broadcasters on the IBMA Board. Our Board meeting begins at 8 am Monday. The Monday evening dinner will feature the keynote address by Sam Bush.

INTERNATIONAL BLUEGRASS MUSIC AWARDS TO FEATURE STELLAR CAST

Nashville, Tenn. - The bluegrass world is set to gather on September 30
for the 2010 International Bluegrass Music Awards, recognizing the
year's most outstanding accomplishments in 17 categories and honoring
two pioneers for their groundbreaking influence. The star-studded
evening will feature a stellar cast of performers and exciting
collaborations to delight audiences and celebrate bluegrass worldwide.

Fans can look forward to a dozen performances including reigning
Entertainers of the Year Dailey & Vincent; the father of newgrass Sam
Bush; bluegrass songbird Claire Lynch; powerhouse vocalist Russell Moore
& IIIrd Tyme Out; the legendary Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver; and
nine-time Entertainers of the Year, The Del McCoury Band.
That alone could satisfy the appetite of even the hungriest of fans, but
the IBMA Awards are known for delivering some special collaborations.

Two gentlemen who between them hold eight Guitar Player of the Year
trophies, Josh Williams and Tony Rice, will perform together. Awards
show hosts, Grand Ole Opry stars Sharon & Cheryl White and genre-bending
Dobro stylist Jerry Douglas, will team up with four-time Female and Male
Vocalists of the Year Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski. The man who has
dominated the Billboard Bluegrass Albums Chart all summer, Dierks
Bentley, will perform with a band of nominees and past recipients, while
Blue Highway will include guest Darrell Scott in their part of the show.

The evening will also feature musical tributes to Hall of Fame inductees
John Hartford and Louise Scruggs, including a performance by Earl
Scruggs with his sons, Gary and Randy.

Whether enjoying the show live at the historic Ryman Auditorium or
tuning in via radio, fans will also enjoy award presentations by their
favorite stars and the anticipation of hearing who walks away with the
most coveted awards in bluegrass music.
Expect more surprises, but one thing is clear: you don't want to miss
this show!

The 21st International Bluegrass Music Awards, scheduled for 7:30 p.m.
Central on September 30, will be broadcast live on Sirius XM Satellite
Radio (Bluegrass Junction, Channel 14) and syndicated to more than 300
U.S. markets and 14 foreign networks thanks to the sponsorship of Martha
White, GHS Strings, Sugar Hill Records, Deering Banjos, Compass Records
and the International Bluegrass Music Museum. Program directors and
station managers may sign up to be affiliates online at www.ibma.org.

Tickets are available at the Ryman Auditorium box office at (615)
889-3060.
The International Bluegrass Music Awards are voted on by the
professional membership of the International Bluegrass Music Association
(IBMA), which serves as the trade association for the bluegrass music
industry. The IBMA Awards Show is the centerpiece of the World of
Bluegrass week, including the industry's Business Conference and
Bluegrass Fan Fest, which will take place September 27 - October 3 in
Nashville.

IBMA Preparation

2010-09-16T12:27:00.002-04:00

Well, as World of Bluegrass Week of from International Bluegrass Music Association approaches, like many of you, I find myself with a lot to get finished before traveling to Nashville for the Trade Show and Business Conference, Awards Show and FanFest. I always look forward to this busy and exciting time in music. Serving as one of the producers for the IBMA Awards Show, my days (and nights!) have been filled for several weeks now assembling many, many details that it takes to put together a show of this caliber. September 27th - October 3rd Bluegrass musicians, singers, producers, announcers, writers and fans will gather to celebrate, educate, communicate and concentrate on all things Bluegrass!

As time allows during World of Bluegrass Week, I will be posting to the blog. Knee-Deep In Bluegrass, along with John Boy & Billy Radio, has some exciting news to share in the coming days, so stay tuned for that!

Before heading to Nashville, I will also be posting some of the places I will be during the week so we can hopefully say hello face-to-face.

Thanks!~CB

What I Am Reading

2010-09-13T10:46:00.004-04:00

I have to admit...I do not read many books. It is not because I do not enjoy reading-I do! I think it has more to do with not 'scheduling' some reading time into each day. However, I am currently reading The Mandolin Caseby Dr. Tom Bibey. I met Dr. Bibey several years ago and have chatted with him at many music festivals and shows over the years. I will post a review as soon as I am finished. In the meantime, here is what Dan Hays, Executive Director of the IBMA has to say:

“The ‘The Mandolin Case’ provides more twists and curls than the grain in a piece of birds-eye maple. Like a master fiddler weaving notes through the melody of a song, Bibey holds forth simplicity as the most complex asset when prejudice and greed place honor and integrity on trial.” – Dan Hays,
International Bluegrass Music Association

This is where I grew up and attended the first one with my Dad (and many of them over the years) I am happy to be going back to serve as MC, along with my good friend, Harold Mitchell. Over $3,600 in prizes awarded to Bluegrass and Old Time Bands and Individuals and Youth. On Saturday afternoon, there will be a Terry Baucom Banjo workshop offered, with all participants receiving a free copy of Terry's DVD-Driving With The Duke. Camping in the rough available.
