2009 AMAZING ACRES CONCERT SERIES

PINE CREEK ROUNDERS

1st show at 6PM, 2nd show at 8PM

You know the story. A couple of guys from different worlds meet at a jam session and discover a common love for music. They talk, pick a bit and form a band. It happens everyday, right? Right. The difference is what each musician brings to the stage, Here we have a talented, young fiddler with a passion for history. Another is an old hippie finally chasing the music that has haunted him all his life. They are fortunate to have recently been joined by James Bellis. A world traveler and gentleman, he is also one of the area’s premier clawhammer banjo players. What you get is rousing Old Time music. Old Time music is story telling music and the Pine Creek Rounders love to tell those stories. Old Time is also the original party music so be ready to do more than tap your toes. Close your eyes, you’re going on a movin’ & shakin’ ride to the past.
