Betsy's email Profiles Sound Clips Reviews

    Born in Oklahoma, and raised in various “oil” states in the West, Grant has been performing regularly since he was a teen. He thrives on the high tenor range of this trio, and is an outstanding harmonizer and lead singer.
    Betsy is Grant’s wife and long-time singing partner. In fact, they met at a folk guitar class a lo-o-ong time ago. Their harmonies were so good together, they decided to make it a forever-thing, and married soon thereafter. She likes to sing the romantic solos ... and has been described by one rapt listener as having a "mellifluous" voice.
   CountyLine is pleased to have Stu Turner in the line-up. He grew up in southern Mississippi listening to bluegrass and country music, including his father’s home-spun guitar songs. Stu has commenced to spinning his own yarns lately -- some are wild tales set to the high energy of bluegrass ... some are poignant musings of his childhood.
    Michelle Edwards is our newest "rambler". I asked her how she got hooked on music and this is what she said : "What drew me to the violin was Donahue ( yes, that old talk show before Oprah:)) He had some violin Suzuki students on his program and when I was 4, my mom asked if I wanted to play the violin like those students. I said, "Yes Ma'am!" because I thought if I played the violin, that was my ticket to get on the Donahue show"... She has a B.M. in Violin Performance with emphasis in Suzuki Pedagogy, has toured all over the USA and Central America. She's played in several varying venues: Carnegie Hall, Lincoln Center, Red Rocks to Grizzly Rose. Really enjoyed playing in the Branson Theaters (especially with Wayne Newton) and being a studio musician in Nashville TN. She's been teaching since 1989 and is a local Mozart Project String Teacher. Now she's having a blast playing some sizzling fiddle breaks. Did I mention she's lots of fun? Now you know why we are tickled to have her in the band!
