About Me |
|
"...you guys are great!" Dallas McCord- Emerald Valley Opry Board "Musical excitment distilled to its purest form" The Portland Comet The Urban Monroes An Oregon Bluegrass Band Jedmore Take Quiz "Fast Paced, Highly Energetic" The Oregonian "If you have a chance to see the Urban Monroes be sure you do, you won't be dissapointed! The whole band is very tight and seem to have a great time performing." Northwest Bluegrass "THE URBAN MONROES - are hot! Spinnin' on the WWB WorldWideBluegrass!" "We love your music and you can quote me on that." Gracie Muldoon WWB BIO Fashioned from the heart of tradition and infused with adrenaline, the Urban Monroes’ contemporary bluegrass style is an outgrowth of the combined skill of some of the Pacific Northwest’s finest talent. Possessing band member credits ranging from “record of the year” and “CD of the Year” to state bluegrass instrument champions, their musical experience circles the globe having taken them as far away as England and Scotland and even to Siberia…the long way. Three of the Urban Monroes four members have been featured on the Emmy award winning television show “Oregon Art Beat” and collectively they have opened for and shared the stage with the likes of Laurie Lewis, Ricky Skaggs, Iris Dement, Lee Ann Womack, Paul Delay and others. With Fran Kent- guitar and vocals, Matt Gray- banjo, Jason Mellow-bass and Eddie Parente- fiddle, The Urban Monroes are a new tradition in contemporary bluegrass. |
