Cherryholmes
Guest Artist
Until April of 1999, the dynamic family band known as Cherryholmes did not exist, and half of its youthful members hadn't even picked up an instrument. In five short years, this high-energy Nashville-based band was named the International Bluegrass Music Association's 2005 Entertainer of the Year.
Cherryholmes has many qualities that make the band unique, but the basis of the group's success lies in plain, old-fashioned hard work combined with shining star talent that only appears to glow more brightly with each performance. Cherryhomes embodies the American bluegrass dream.
All six band members pull their creative ideas to form the group's unique brand of bluegrass music. Every member takes a turn singing lead and showcasing instrumental abilities. The band's live shows include twin fiddles, Irish step dancing, classic country yodeling, and old-time claw hammer in addition to the dynamic bluegrass.
The bandleader and father, Jere, sums the band up this way, "People say that bluegrass music has to change or evolve or it will die. Well, if you change something from one thing to another it isn't alive anyway. I don't really think it needs to be changed. It just needs new life breathed into it. I feel like maybe I'm offering that with my family."
