Cherryholmes

Performance by Cherryholmes.

This critically acclaimed, Grammy-nominated bluegrass band takes its name from the phenomenally talented Cherryholmes family that comprises it: father Jere, mother Sandy and youngsters Cia, B.J., Smash (aka Skip), and Molly. Cherryholmes never fails to dazzle audiences with its blazing mix of fiddle, banjo, guitar, and mandolin, and with its extraordinary command of old-time country music. Winners of the 2005 International Bluegrass Music Association’s “Entertainer of the Year” Award, Cherryholmes captures the essence of bluegrass in both traditional tunes and in new songs penned by lead singer Cia, whose dulcet vocals have been compared to no less a bluegrass goddess than Alison Krauss. As critic Peg Longstreth raves, “Cherryholmes is the single most exciting bluegrass band I have ever heard.”
