Old Time Gospel on AmericasBluegrass.com

Americas BluegrassI received an interesting E-mail message from Charles Lewis this morning.

A native Eastern Kentuckian, Lewis is the founder, President and Chief Executive Officer of America’s Bluegrass, Inc. He has produced and hosted such Bluegrass and Gospel groups as The IIIrd. Tyme Out, Doyle Lawson, Ralph Stanley, The Lonesome River Band, Rhonda Vincent, Cherryholmes, Larry Sparks, Dave Evans, Ernie Thacker, The Osborne Brothers, Bobby Osborne, The Lewis Family, Larry Cordle, Ronnie Reno, Don Rigsby, Melvin Goins, Tim Surrett, Joe Isaacs, The Freemans, The Kingsmen, The Florida Boys and many, many more local and national groups.

The purpose of his message was to alert me to the posting of some pictures from the Old Time Gospel Singing Convention held at the Paramount Arts Center in Ashland, Kentucky, on December 28th.

The montage of pictures from the convention can be viewed at the website. There is an impressive array of talent on show.

Also, you can view pre-show interviews with a variety of artists who performed at the convention; namely Don Rigsby, J.D. Crowe, Paul Williams, Larry Cordle, Kenny and Amanda Smith, Joe Freeman, Dave Carroll, Ricky Wasson, Tim Surrett, Ronnie Bowman, Joe Isaacs, and James King.

All of the video interviews can be seen on YouTube.
