About the Artists
The Blue Ridge Girls, comprised of Jamie Collins, Martha Spencer, and Brett Morris, is a trio firmly rooted in Appalachian folk music with deep roots in Appalachian music that they are bringing into the 21st century kicking and clogging. 

Showcasing skillful musicianship and honey-sweet vocal harmonies, they perform a mix of traditional standards and Blue-Ridge-breathed originals.

Each of these artists has musical roots that run deep, with family backgrounds that connect them to the music of their homeland. Moreover, they have shown a deep commitment to preserving and passing on traditional music ways as music educators and through their involvement with organizations like Junior Appalachian Musicians.

Also talented songwriters, their original ballads like “Home is Where The Fiddle Rings” and “Piney” feature dreamy vocals, drawing from personal experience to beautifully capture the feeling of growing up in rural Appalachia. Meanwhile up-tempo tunes such as “Ain’t Gonna Work Tomorrow” and “We Can’t Get to Memphis” feature the kind of hard-driving banjo licks and flatfoot dancing that audiences can’t get enough of.

Junior Sisk is widely regarded as one of today’s leading voices in traditional bluegrass music. A native of the Virginia Blue Ridge, Sisk grew up in a musical family and was influenced early on by bluegrass legends like The Stanley Brothers, Larry Sparks, and the Johnson Mountain Boys. He began playing guitar at age 14 and first made his mark as a songwriter in the early 1990s, penning classics for the Lonesome River Band.

Over the years, Sisk has performed with Wyatt Rice & Santa Cruz and Blueridge, helping to shape the modern traditional bluegrass sound. In 1998, he formed Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice, releasing Sounds of the Mountains and later rising to national prominence with Heart of a Song, which won the 2012 IBMA Album of the Year. The album’s standout single, “A Far Cry from Lester and Earl,” also earned IBMA Song of the Year honors.

Sisk has since received numerous accolades, including IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year and SPBGMA Album and Song of the Year awards. Now recording with Mountain Fever Records, his 2020 release Load the Wagon became his most successful to date. With new music on the way, Junior Sisk remains a powerful force in bluegrass.
