Steve played with an up and coming bluegrass band called "Kentucky Roots." The group disbanded several years ago, but the individual members have stayed in contact, and frequently jam together and perform in concert in various musical groupings. Each year the original members gather in Waretown, NJ's Albert Hall for an annual reunion concert. These concerts feature some of the most exciting, advanced, and virtuostic bluegrass music on the East Coast, and probably anywhere else. Fortunately this concert was recorded in part on video, and we proudly present some highlights from that recording. THE VIDEOS: These videos require a fairly high-speed bandwidth, and you should have the latest FLASH player. You can get and install one for FREE from here. Steve Lutke sings the great Jimmy Martin tune "Saphronie." Bob Harris sings the old Flatt & Scruggs chestnut "Salty Dog" with plenty of help from his bandmates. Lester and Earl fans will like this version. Fiddler Travis Wetzel honors us with his version of the Bill Monroe classic tune "Molly & Tenbrooks." Bill would be proud of this one... Steve Lutke sings "Rain and Snow." This mournful ballad is given the authentic mountain music "soul" by the fiddle (Wetzel) and banjo (Lutke) in the opening bars. |
