Big Country Bluegrass delivers their own
hard-driving style of bluegrass that makes them crowd favorites
wherever they perform from festivals and concerts across this country to the
stage of the Grand Ole Opry. With two decades of experience under their
belts, the band offers the very best of traditional bluegrass music. Their
sound is reminiscent of hearing Bill Monroe and Lester Flat & Earl
Scruggs at their very best.
Big Country Bluegrass was formed by husband and wife Tommy and Teresa Sells in the late 1980's and took its name from Tommy's coon-hunting buddy Jimmy Martin's instrumental, Big Country. In the ensuing years, they played numerous fiddlers conventions, capturing their share of individual and band honors, as well as performing at festivals in the southeastern US. Big Country Bluegrass signed a long-term recording recording contract with Mountain Roads Recordings of Bristol, Tennessee in January 2008. They have long since abandoned the "competition" circuit and have concentrated on festivals and concert dates. They have developed a large and devoted following all over America and now to many foreign countries including Great Britain and Australia and are making a showing on the national bluegrass charts. All band members live in communities along the Virginia/North Carolina border, in close proximity to Galax, Virginia, the "mecca" of traditional bluegrass music. Tommy Sells plays mandolin and handles most of the emcee work. Teresa Sells plays rhythm guitar and sings lead and tenor parts. Tommy and Teresa live near Mouth of Wilson, Virginia. Alan Mastin lives near Fries, Virginia and plays acoustic upright bass fiddle. Jeff Michael, of Wilkesboro, North Carolina, plays fiddle and lead guitar, does most of the lead singing and sings harmony parts to Teresa's and Johnny's leads. Lynwood Lunsford, who lives in Cascade, Virginia plays banjo and sings baritone Johnny Williams, of Danville, Virginia, plays rhythm guitar and sings lead and harmony parts Big Country Bluegrass welcomes the opportunity to appear at your festival, club or other venue. The bandmembers dedicate themselves to presenting your audience an exciting, enjoyable and memorable performance! |
