Artist picture
Contemporary & traditional bluegrass, acoustic country, folk, with eclectic influences.
GOIN’ HOME . . . it’s a phrase that may bring you pleasant memories, joyful anticipation, perhaps a nostalgic yearning. It’s also the name of a four-member, all-acoustic, string band that plays and sings traditional and contemporary bluegrass music with high energy and heartfelt conviction. Having roots in the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia, the Missouri Bootheel, and the hills of West Tennessee, GOIN’ HOME draws on their combined musical and cultural backgrounds, tastes, and talents to create a sound that appeals to longtime bluegrass fans and wins over those folks who may be unfamiliar with the genre. You will hear traditional and contemporary bluegrass, gospel harmony, a bit of country, maybe even a bluegrass version of a pop, rock, or soul tune you grew up with. It’s all a part of GOIN’ HOME!

In her youth, my grandmother, Nettie Pearl, played the mandolin in her family band. Most of the characters & events mentioned are true. The song is about how music can make things a little better.
