Four-time winner of the International Bluegrass Music Association’s (IMBA) fiddle player of the year award and Grammy-nominated musician Michael Cleveland brings dynamic traditional bluegrass to the Jubilee stage with his band, Flamekeeper. The program was taped at the 2007 River of Music Party in Owensboro, Ky.This performance also features IBMA award-winner Audie Blaylock on guitar and vocals. The group’s tight vocal harmonies, blistering instrumentals and fiddle-and-banjo duets echo the first-generation stars of bluegrass, bringing focused energy and talent to traditional and original tunes while maintaining a lighthearted and fun expression throughout.
The current lineup, featuring Jesse Brock on mandolin, Barry Reed on bass and John Mark Batchelor on banjo, was awarded the IBMA’s instrumental group of the year award for 2007. Their next album, scheduled to be released at the end of July 2008, is titled Leavin’ Town.
