Bluegrass concert on a frosty day - by Heidi Huff
posted: Feb. 15, 2008

"Who's ready to hear some real hot picking on a real cold winter's day?" This was the question asked as the Tennessee based bluegrass band Blue Moon Rising took the stage at Northminster Presbyterian Church on Sunday February 10th. Their performance was the latest in the line-up of the event series called Sound and Spirit: The Arts at Northminster.
Blue Moon Rising features Keith Garrett on the mandolin and vocals, Chris West on guitar and vocals, Justin Jenkins on banjo, Tim Caudill on bass, and Preston Schmidt on fiddle. Songwriters Garrett and West accomplish that old bluegrass sound while personalizing their lyrics.
Their last album, On the Rise, seemed to foretell their fate of rising to the top. This album debuted at #14 on the Billboard's Bluegrass Chart in 2005 and was still charting in 2007. Their single, "This Old Martin Box," spent all of 2006 in the Top 30. It was my favorite of their Northminster show, but you don't have to take my word for it. Hear them for yourself at www.myspace.com/bluemoonrising.
Next up at Northminster is the Traveling Musicians' Medicine Show. It's a twist on the old fashioned talent show - area musicians are to perform one legitimate piece and one quirky piece on March 2nd at 4 p.m. Check out what else they have to offer at www.northminster-indy.org.
