Album Notes

Recorded live at the historic Altona Grange in Boulder County, Colorado, Coal Creek Bluegrass Band continues the legacy of hard-driving, authentic old-school bluegrass music! Live at the Altona Grange, the group's second CD, captures all the rowdy, foot-stompin' excitement of a CCBB show. With hot fiddling, driving banjo, and plenty of solid harmony singing, CCBB delivers a tight, thoroughly enjoyable performance.

Take a break from super-slick, overly produced "Nash-grass" music and listen to bluegrass the way it was meant to be played: all-out, seat-of-the-pants, rattle-your-bones, laugh-out-loud BLUEGRASS MUSIC.

So put this one on your CD player, push up the volume, and "Get in Touch With Your Inner Hillbilly!"

Coal Creek Bluegrass Band plays hard-driving, traditional bluegrass music reminiscent of the seminal bluegrass bands of the 1940s and 50s. CCBB's energetic stage presence, tight harmonies, and instrumental prowess have thrilled audiences across Colorado. At bluegrass festivals, on radio shows, at private parties and concert halls, the Coal Creek Bluegrass Band has earned a reputation for delivering authentic and thoroughly entertaining bluegrass music shows.

Coal Creek Bluegrass Band is an acoustic five-piece band featuring banjo, mandolin, fiddle, guitar and upright bass. In concert, CCBB uses a single microphone, adjusting their sound the old-fashioned way: by constant motion. The well-practiced steps, their "dance" around the microphone, bring singer and instrumentalist to the forefront naturally. The result blends both sound and movement to create a totally authentic and engaging presentation of the music.

Coal Creek Bluegrass Band is David Goldhammer on guitar and vocals, Justin Hoffenberg on fiddle, David Patton on banjo and vocals, Brian Warren on bass and vocals, and David Vaillancourt on mandolin.
