Were There for Me ------------- CMT.com "If we structured it, we'd be so bored with ourselves in no time, we wouldn't know what to do," guitarist Tony Rice says. "The older I get, the less I like structure." The guitarist is talking about his live shows with Peter Rowan, but his description also applies to You Were There for Me, their first full album together. And if Rowan and Rice dislike strict structure, the subtle power of their music proves that you have to know the rules if you truly want to break them. Their new Rounder CD is very much a collaboration, yet it continues the individual creative journeys that have established their reputations as two of the most adventurous players in acoustic music.

pioneer Rice comes to Grey Eagle Wednesday Tony Rice is among the most powerful and important bluegrass
musicians of the modern era. One of the first superstar
instrumentalists on guitar, he left the three chords of bluegrass
behind to explore virtually every type of music imaginable and created
a few new riffs of his own. From
his first hits with Ricky Skaggs and J.D. Crowe and the New South in
the '70s, through the present, he's been a pioneer of progressive
bluegrass, creating a style that is unmistakably and impeccably his
own. On Wednesday, he's joining the Larry Keel Experience at the Grey
Eagle Music Hall -- a chance to hear one of the genre's best
guitarists in a listening environment. Click Here

NATIONAL, REGIONAL STARS Peter Rowan thinks Tony Rice is a genius. "He's the best guitar
player in the world," said Rowan. The warmth and brilliance of
their interaction may be the cure you need for the winter bluegrass
blues. They're headlining this weekend's 9th annual Bluegrass First
Class festival together, indoors at the Holiday Inn SunSpree Resort,
along with Jimmy Martin, J.D Crowe, Ronnie Bowman, IIIrd Tyme Out and
other bluegrass greats. ------------- |
