Interviewer: Gracie Muldoon
Description:
"Fashioned from the heart of tradition and infused with adrenaline, the
Urban Monroes’ contemporary bluegrass style is an outgrowth of the combined
skill of some of the Pacific Northwest’s finest talent. The band members
credits range from “record of the year” and “CD of the Year” to state
bluegrass instrument champion, and their musical experiences have taken them
as far away as England and Scotland. Three of the Urban Monroes four members
have been featured on the Emmy award winning television show “Oregon Art
Beat” and collectively they have opened for and shared the stage with the
likes of Laurie Lewis, Ricky Skaggs, Iris Dement, Lee Ann Womack, Paul Delay
and others.
With Fran Kent - guitar and vocals, Matt Gray - banjo, Jason Mellow - bass
and Andy Lohr- mandolin and Dobro, The Urban Monroes are a new tradition in
contemporary bluegrass." |
