Vernon McIntyre's APPALACHIAN GRASS

Vernon McIntyre's APPALACHIAN GRASS is a bluegrass band with style.  The band delivers an entertaining stage show with driving instrumentals, close knit harmonies, amusing novelty songs, and a show stopping trick fiddling act.  The combination of music, energy, showmanship, and humor just can't be beat.

Each band member contributes a unique element to the Appalachian Grass. The band is unified by Vernon's matchless rhythm guitar picking, while Robert Campbell's hard driving banjo is the backbone of the bluegrass sound. Kitty and her fiddle add a spark of excitement.  Lead vocals rest mostly in Vernon's capable hands with an occasional solo from Emily, Kitty, or Tammy.

Vernon McIntyre is an exciting and entertaining MC. He has the unique ability to infuse his shows with the warmth and spontaneity of a small family gathering even when playing for thousands.  It's old fashioned entertainment at it's best, fun to watch and fun to be a part of.
 

When Kitty McIntyre steps up to the mic, it's time to fasten the seat belts.  Her bluegrass fiddling can ramp everything up a notch on a fiddle tune or bring out the sweetness of a ballad or waltz.  Oh, and don't miss her old time trick fiddling.  Trick fiddling???  Click here to find out more.

Robert Campbell's hard driving banjo is the backbone of the bluegrass sound.  Robert has some great twists and turns in his playing that leaves the listener wondering what's he going to do next.


Emily Baehr on mandolin provides that clear back beat as well as some good bluegrass harmonies and sweet lead vocals.

Tammy Powers on upright bass makes bass playing look effortless.  We love her "Mama Don't Allow." 

Strolling Thru The Bluegrass
 Educational Program

This program walks through the history of Bluegrass music through Vernon’s first-hand experiences and through a demonstration of their fine collection of bluegrass and unusual vintage instruments.   A sample of many instruments are passed around for that hands-on experience.  

Vernon and wife, Kitty, and her fiddling polecat, Roady LaPew, add a touch of humor with her trick fiddling grande finale.

Vernon and Kitty enjoy presenting this program at music festivals, music events, libraries and schools.
