Details
Come, bring family and friends to enjoy the liturgy with a full acoustic string band featuring The Pilgrim River Boys (Colin Bowling, fiddle; Taylor Shuck, banjo, Shawn Spencer, mandolin, Richard Wineland, guitar).
The term "bluegrass" itself is derived from the name of Bill Monroe's band, the Blue Grass Boys. Monroe, along with his brother Charlie Monroe, developed a distinctive style of music in the 1930s and 1940s that combined elements of traditional Appalachian music with influences from blues, jazz, and gospel music.
