Blackstone Valley Bluegrass is sure to get you toe-tapping and singing. They harmonize perfectly! Bluegrass at its best.
Dan Nowlan: Dan plays mandolin, guitar and sings lead and harmony vocals. Dan began his musical career playing drums with the Valley Airs Drum and Bugle Corps. He then turned to rock guitar, playing in the occasional garage band and also acoustic guitar where he is an accomplished flatpicker. Dan helped form Central Turnpike, the Bluegrass with a Twist band from central Ma, played with Rolling Hills Bluegrass and has played with a number of local bands. His vocals are powerful, his mandolin style is full of drive and his picking is clean and tasteful. Danny comes alive when he is playing music; of the four players in Blackstone Valley, he corners the market on energy!!
Ken Taylor: The big guy in the middle keeps the band tight with arguably the most solid bass-playing in the New England area. Hes also the bass singer in the band. Ken began playing the guitar with an interest in folk music but was soon sidetracked into bluegrass. He was one of the founding members of the Central Turnpike Bluegrass Band, also with Rolling Hills Bluegrass and has got a chance to strut his stuff with Adam Dewey & Crazy Creek, Blue Union and most recently with Erica Brown, a fine young bluegrass fiddler based in Maine. He plays like an old master, his style is powerful and his timing is right-on!
