DRIVE SOUTH
The Bluegrass Band
Band leader Don Hogan (guitar/lead vocals) has a passion for Bluegrass music and he has assembled a group of fine pickers to join him in one of the hottest new bluegrass groups to hit western North Carolina in some time. Playing classic 'grass and mixing in some inventive versions of 'grassed up contemporary tunes, this group comes at the listener hard and heavy.
Joining Don on Banjo is the impeccable Tony Williamson. (We don't let Tony play guitar too much because he'd blow us all away on that instrument too!!!) Tony is the consummate banjo player mixing a fine blend of styles that will remind you of Earl Scruggs and Bela Fleck... at the same time!
The newest member of the group is mandolinist Pete Wallace. Pete brings a load of experience as a bluegrass muscian with his hard driving mandolin chops and strong vocals. Having played in various groups around the Southeast, Pete has been around the World - literally - playing guitar, bass, banjo and fiddle as well as the mandolin.

Rounding out the group is Joseph Hasty doing his thing on Upright Bass and tenor vocals.
