2014 Kicks Off Into High Gear
Thanks to our good friend Judith Burnette at WBRF in Galax, Virginia, we have some great photos from Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out's first performance of 2014 at the Fairview Ruritan Club! Russell was joined onstage by longtime IIIrd Tyme Out band members Wayne Benson on mandolin and Justen Haynes on fiddle, as well as new band members, Keith McKinnon on banjo and Blake Johnson on bass. From all accounts, the band rocked the packed house! We've posted the photos to the band's Facebook page and you can also see the photos on their website photo gallery.
In addition to a great first show of the year, Russell has been announced as a nominee for Male Vocalist of the Year by SPBGMA (Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass in America). This year's awards will take place on Sunday, February 2nd at the Music City Sheraton in Nashville, TN.
