Just wanted to share my enthusiasm for CherryHomes. I just received their latest release "Bluegrass Vagabonds" a week ago and it has not left the CD player. I saw them perform last year in Old Forge at a bluegrass festival. Cherryholmes (for those that don't know) consist of mom, dad, their two sons and two daughters. All play instruments, and all sing. Several even can play several instruments. Cia, the banjo player, also can play mandolin, and dobro. The youngest, Molly, has performed fiddle on other well known artists albums. One of the boys wrote an instrumental that is on the album at quite a young age. Impressive. We attended their workshop as well. They perform in the single mic style and are extremely entertaining to watch. Sandy Lee, the mother and mandolin player, was a teacher and taught all of the kids to play. They tour in a 1960 GM bus, and left everything they had to travel and perform. They have earned the top nomination for the SPBGMA entertaining group of the year. Jimmy Martin wrote the liner notes.
