BEARGRASS

 BEARGRASS includes the husband-wife team of Shayne and Alane Watkins and Doug Park. They perform around the Northwestern US. With some catchy originals and a large repertoire of classic cover tunes, BEARGRASS blends unique harmonies into an acoustic Americana sound with some traditional country twang and bluegrass twists. They delight dancers and listeners of all ages.

Formerly The Mountain Men and Julie, BEARGRASS was formed in 2000 when Alane Watkins joined the band. Shayne, Delvin and Julie Watkins had played together since 1979 and when Alane joined the band and later married Shayne, the name was changed to BEARGRASS. In 2009 they were joined by Doug Park on the upright bass.

Shayne and Alane released their second CD Three Chords and a Capo in 2007 and are working on another for 2010. Beargrass has a full repertoire of standard country cover tunes, new country, folk, bluegrass and some original tunes.

BEARGRASS had an exciting 2008 entertainment season. From their travels to Oregon and the SolWest Renewable Energy Fair to the Red Barn Farms in Colton, WA .

For 2009, BEARGRASS kicked off a busy season at the Lee Earl Cowboy Poetry Gathering followed by a concert at the Empire Theatre in Tekoa, Washington. Summer venues include MaryJanes Farm Fair , Salmon Arts Council Music Series as well as the Council Mountain Music Festival and the Palouse Bluegrass Festival.

Also in 2009, they will appear off and on at the Sage Bakery at 1303 Main Street in Lewiston, Idaho.
