Saturday, February 4-- Southern Rail -- Outstanding Bluegrass

After more than thirty years playing together, Southern Rail continues to delight audiences with their contemporary energy, spirit and drive, matched only by the warmth and humor of their performances. Their music is upbeat and emotionally charged, encompassing contemporary trios, powerful gospel quartets, and solid instrumentals. They feature: Jim Muller on guitar and lead vocals -- born and raised in Richmond, Virginia, Jim’s rich, distinctive lead vocals and offbeat humor have become one of the group's trademarks. Sharon Horovitch on upright bass -- aggressive, creative and irrepressible, Sharon is known for her infectious smile, her limber bass work, and her tenor and high-baritone harmonies. Rich Stillman on banjo -- has been playing bluegrass banjo for over 30 years. Southern Rail's recordings have climbed to #11 on Bluegrass Unlimited’s Top Thirty Single’s Chart,  and have hit  #1 on a number of radio stations across the nation. Their songs have graced Bluegrass Unlimited's Top Thirty Singles Chart for a combined total of 32 months, receiving heavy national airplay. One of Southern Rail's earlier CDs, a special Bluegrass Gospel compilation entitled Glory Train, was nominated for Best Gospel Recording of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association.
