Cliffhangers Review - Bluegrass Now

Playing Time – 53:30 -- Lifelong friends are made at music festivals. Connections and bonds also become apparent in the conversations that take place between banjo and fiddle. The Cliffhangers call themselves a “campground band” because they are an association of pals whose love of jamming at the Appalachian String Band Music Festival near Clifftop, W.V. has brought them together in fellowship. Their first meeting was in 2001, and they have reunited annually since. Driven by Mark Simos’ fiddle and Brendan Doyle’s banjo, “On The Edge” features 16 traditional old-time instrumentals that document a great deal of emotion, history and nostalgia.
