Description
'Grown Up (A Revisionist History)' is the new CD by family bluegrass band, The Chapmans and features Rhonda Vincent, Stuart Duncan and Rob Ickes.
Continuing with the long held tradition of family bands in bluegrass music (from the Stanleys and the Louvins, to the Whites, and the McCourys) familial harmonies have always formed a bluegrass bloodline.
Extending that lineage is The Chapmans, a family band from Springfield, Missouri who emphasize the vocal blend of brothers John, Jeremy, and Jason Chapman over instrumentation that includes their banjoist father Bill, along with stellar guest support from fiddler Stuart Duncan, banjoist Noam Pikelny, dobroist Rob Ickes and Rhonda Vincent on duet/harmony vocals. Their new CD, Grown Up, is dominated by ballads, bittersweet tales of lost love and stories of murder, with guitarist John's reedy tenor providing the plaintive lead vocal amid soaring harmonies."
Says journalist Don McLeese. "Like so many within the emerging generation of bluegrass artists, The Chapmans sidestep the show-off strain of technical virtuosity as they employ instrumental arrangements that enhance the song rather than overpower it."
The Chapmans continue to enlarge their fan base to include Americana, bluegrass and acoustic country genres. Albeit a young band, they have been touring professionally for almost two decades, while fans and peers alike have nominated and honored them with numerous awards for their songwriting, instrumental, vocal and entertaining talents. Having played thousands of shows, they've evolved into a band with a great artistic formula which
reaches any size and aged audience, crossing several genres of music.
The sum result is that Grown Up should find a welcoming audience on the contemporary bluegrass scene for its fine blend of the old and new.
