Emily Miller & Jesse Milnes
Jesse Milnes and Emily Miller perform country and old-time music, singing close harmony with Jesse's unique finger-picked guitar style and a healthy dose of old-time fiddling. Emily was raised playing and singing old-time and country music (the Louvin Brothers and the Stanley Brothers were household favorites) with her parents while they traveled the world as journalists. Jesse grew up in the world of West Virginia old-time music, learning from masters like Melvin Wine and Ernie Carpenter as well as his father, Gerry Milnes. They now make their home in central West Virginia. emmyandjesse.com |

Grand Bon Rien
Grand Bon Rien is Western Pennsylvania's source for live traditional Cajun Music. The band was formed in 1994 by five people dedicated to the music as it is played in the dance halls of southern Louisiana. Their driving, danceable beat on traditional two-steps and waltzes and their tight harmonies on songs sung in Cajun French bring fans from Ohio and West Virginia to participate in monthly dances. grandbonrien.com/ |
