Left to RIght: Mark Marshall-Banjo, Johnny Greer, Mandolin, John Malayter, Guitar,
Mandolin, Frankie Elliott, Bass
What to call good pickin' and harmony so good, you'll be smiling for a week?
Why you would call that Highway 11 Bluegrass!  Your webhostess is a long-
time fan of this fantastic group of truly talented musicians and know if you get
out to see them live, you will be as well. Highway 11 is named after US
Highway 11 that runs through 10 states, from NewYork to Louisiana, and is
the  main connection to everything from Surgoinsville. You may recognize the
name Johnny Greer from news stories and newspaper articles, as he
currently serves as the Mayor of Surgoinsville, and he and his beautiful wife
Teresa also own Bellamy Hardware and Antiques on Main Street there.
Johnny plays mando, and does a great job on vocals. Mark Marshall is the
ultra-talented banjo player for the group, and lends some very tight vocals to
all of Highway 11's songs. Frankie Elliott anchors the group with a very solid
job on the bass, and sings alot of the lead vocals for the band. John Malayter
plays mando and some really great guitar for Highway 11. The band is a
frequent feature at Bellamy Hardware's 3rd Saturday night show, and play
many other venues in the area.  If you're a regular at the Bluegrass on Broad
shows, you have no doubt seen some of the members 'in the shadows' at
the after-show jam sessions that break out after the feature.  

Take a moment to check out  some of the band's other appearances  on
their website

Mountain Roads Recordings signs the fantastic new bluegrass gospel group "Wheeler"


Mountain Roads Recordings of Bristol, Tennessee has announced the signing of "Wheeler"   from Weber City, Virginia.

Kevin and Tiffany Wheeler, Mark Jackson, Justin Salyer and Steven Mounts are Wheeler: a bluegrass gospel band with the purest vocals, harmony and superb
musicianship. Established in April 2008, the band wants to bring their upbeat music to festivals and bluegrass venues, reaching out with their particular style of
bluegrass gospel music.

Tiffany sings lead/harmony vocals; Kevin sings lead/harmony vocals and plays the bass; Mark sings lead/harmony vocals and plays the mandolin; Justin plays the
guitar and Steven plays the banjo.

Karl Cooler says, “We are so excited to have Wheeler on our label. The purest vocals and harmony reaches right down into your heart and grabs you from the
moment the first note is released. Kevin, Mark, Justin and Steven play their respective instruments with expertise and joy, Tiffany’s vocals are angelic; they delight
everyone who listens to them wherever they perform.”
