Blue Moon Rising is an east
Tennessee based band with a
unique and exciting sound, true
to traditional bluegrass, yet fresh
with new, original material.

title of a newspaper article
commemorating the life of “The
Father of Bluegrass Music”
Bill Monroe.
Since forming in the Fall of 2000,
they have performed at
numerous prestigious venues
including the world famous Station Inn in Nashville, TN. Recently, the band performed alongside Alison Krauss & Union Station at the Fredericksburg Summerfest in Virginia. Haymaker Productions, who presented that show says Blue Moon Rising is “a rare and hot commodity in the bluegrass world - fantastic young musicians who do justice to the roots of the genre … They play with an energy and spirit that indicates their relative youth, but their harmonies and songwriting belie their age.”

"...the Chapmans have arrived. They
deserve to be mentioned from now on
with all the 'first tier' bands in bluegrass,
if they aren't already."
Tim Stafford ~ Blue Highway
The Chapmans have taken their place
among the best and brightest in a new
century of American bluegrass by
balancing a demanding touring schedule
with an award-winning recording career.
Brothers Jeremy, Jason and John, together
with their father Bill, have taken their efforts
in the studio to new heights of emotion, story telling and musicianship with “Simple Man,” the band’s third album for Pinecastle Records,(released in early 2005). “Simple Man” fulfills the promise of 1999’s “Notes From Home” and 2001’s “Follow Me,” which established the Chapmans as rising
stars in the genre and earned them the Emerging Artist of the Year award from the International Bluegrass Music Association.

Success for IIIrd Tyme Out was nearly
an overnight occurrence for this group
after its forming in 1991. Founding
members Ray Deaton (bass) and
Russell Moore (guitar), along with
everyone else in the group, created
a new tradition in modern bluegrass
music. Rounding out IIIrd Tyme Out
are Steve Dilling (banjo),
Alan Perdue (mandolin),
Justen Haynes (fiddle) and their
excellent sound technician,
Donnie Carver.
As the saying goes, “The proof is in the pudding”, and what more proof
of the band’s niche as a top bluegrass group in the world than its seven consecutive IBMA awards as its Vocal Group of the Year - 1994, 1995, 1996, 1997,1998,1999 and most recently 2000. Acapella renditions of many songs can rarely be matched. Its superb instrumentation provides even more quality sound to the rich vocal blends.
