Mountain Therapy will once again be the host band at The Coleman Station Bluegrass Festival, Freidens Pa., July 24 and 25, they will be appearing both days.
Band information and personnel bios follow:
Mountain Therapy is a band that has seen many years of playing bluegrass in the northeastern U.S. area. Formed over 20 years ago, this band has come to be known as a high-energy ensemble, playing everything from traditional and contemporary tunes to fast-paced instrumentals and high-lonesome vocals.
These fine musicians have been influenced by everyone from the old-school fathers of this genre to the youngsters out in the parking lot, flat tearing it up with the yet-to-be-heard sounds of tomorrow's bluegrass.
With strong original songwriting and their creative presentation, Mountain Therapy is one of those rare, 'must see' acts.
:: Mountain Therapy - innovative bluegrass ::
Lonnie Wellman sings lead and baritone and his powerful rhythm guitar style lays the foundation for the entire band. His roots are deep in bluegrass and he comes from a family of exceptional musicianship. Whether it is a haunting bluegrass ballad or a fast powerhouse standard, Lonnie's pure voice and distinctive style drive home the Mountain Therapy sound. His writing skills have added several originals to the band's catalog of songs. Along with the rest of the band, Lonnie continues to lead Mountain Therapy along the cutting edge of bluegrass music.
Tim Custer plays banjo for Mountain Therapy and also sings lead. His musical career began at age 12. Drawing from his love for the music, his playing encompasses impeccable tone, timing, and drive and the instilled talent that one can only derive from years of playing directly from the heart. He has penned several original instrumentals which have become crowd favorites. Down through the years, Tim has developed his own style on the banjo, but credits his dad and Don Reno as his musical heroes.
Ron Dick plays mandolin and sings lead and harmony parts for Mountain Therapy. Ron comes from a rich musical background playing with his family bluegrass band from an early age. His powerful mandolin chop and innovative lead work are crowd pleasing additions to the Mountain Therapy band.
Mike Ash is the newest member of Mountain Therapy. Mike plays acoustic bass and brings to the band his strong lead & harmony vocal singing and rock-steady timing.
