The Jefferson County Bluegrass band has been like " a snowball rolling down hill" as of late. When we started this band, we just had one thing in mind. Playing some of the best bluegrass music we could. We work very hard to do that. We spend countless hours working on our music, promotions, etc. to make it right. We all have a deep devotion to the band and bluegrass music. It's in our hearts and souls. We have plans on going into the studio to record as soon as we can find the time and decide on what material we want to include. Hopfully it will be this year. So, be watching for a CD.
