Doyle, an accomplished mandolin player, vocalist, and leader of this six man group is an inductee into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame. Doyle and the band are legendary for their gospel and bluegrass arrangements and are a sure bet to set the tone for a great festival. With nearly 40 albums to their credit, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver have multiple Grammy, Dove, ICM, IBMA and SPBGMA Award nominations, and are 7-time winners of IBMA’s Vocal Group of the Year. Lawson is reigning SPBGMA Mandolin Player of the Year, and Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver are the reigning Inspirational Country Music Association (ICM) Vocal Group of the Year, crowned in October 2012 at Nashville’s Schermerhorn Symphony Center, on the heels of Lawson’s induction into the International Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2012. Growing up , Doyle Lawson listened to all the stars on the Opry, particularly Bill Monroe and His Blue Grass Boys. He decided early on that he wanted to play that kind of music. Doyle’s father, mother, and sister all sang gospel music when he was young. They were members of trios and quartets that sang a cappella music in churches and at revivals, and such. No doubt, that was where He acquired his love of quartet music. Wishing you a successful Festival! In April 1979, Doyle Lawson formed a group that was first named Doyle Lawson & Foxfire but soon changed to Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver. They were looking for “their sound” and that first group tried many different types of songs. The makeup of the band has changed many times over the last 27 years. But finally their passion and their beliefs in the Lord directed them to the music that they would record and that would bring them the success they have had over the years. Gospel Music is in their heart and soul and this shows every time that Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver hits the stage. If you want to listen to an uplifting musical sets, make sure that are up and down at the stage on Saturday and Sunday to listen to Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver at this year’s Tottenham Bluegrass Festival.

FROM THE MID $300’s 1665 TOTTENHAM RD. 905-936-9366 REGISTER NOW @ honeyfield.ca From his first piano lessons from his mom to when his father handed him a mandolin and showed him some chords, Ray has continued his musical education learning old-time and bluegrass music, becoming one of Canada’s top fiddle and mandolin artists. Ray has teamed up with Gaspé native Frank Doody one of the best banjo players you will find anywhere. Frank Dooby lets his outgoing personality come through in his song writing and in his voice as he entertains the fans. Rounding out this group is a talented guitarist and mandolin player, Richard Bourque, who will also be lending his vocals throughout the set. Ray Legere was the winner at the 1996 and 2003 East Coast Music Awards of the ‘Bluegrass Artist of the Year’ award. Legere has accompanied recording artists such as Rita McNeil, The Rankins, John McDermott, Alison Brown and has played on many great world stages like the Grand Old Opry and Carnegie Hall. . During his travels into the States Ray had the chance to meet and perform with a lot of his musical heroes, most memorably–Tony Rice, who was and still is, his mentor for the sound, tone and timing he strives for when he plays. Ray Legere’s first love is bluegrass music and the friendly atmosphere of the Bluegrass Festivals gives him the avenue to embrace this passion. 7 32ndAnnual www.tottenhambluegrass.ca HONEYFIELD COMMUNITIES PROUDLY PRESENTS: www.tottenhambluegrass.ca Little Roy & Lizzy Show The Little Roy and Lizzy Show is a show that you will not want to miss this year at the Tottenham Bluegrass Festival. Little Roy Lewis and Lizzy Long, both multi- instrumentalists, bring us a fast paced, fast pickin’, highly entertaining show from the moment they step onto the stage until they make their way off. Having roots in the heart of the south, Elizabeth Long, or Lizzy as her friends and fans know her, was born on a farm in Lincolnton, Georgia. She began her music accomplishment at an early age. While starting out on the piano, Lizzy soon took up the fiddle, guitar, autoharp, bass, banjo, and mandolin, and has become an accomplished musician, alternating between these instruments as part of her entertainment repertoire. She has played with great acts such as Mac Wiseman, Jim and Jesse, The Lewis Family, and Earl Scruggs. Continuing her quest for success, Lizzy has paired up with Little Roy Lewis from the legendary Lewis Family. Her extraordinary voice shimmers with strains of America’s musical roots. Lizzy has won “Bluegrass Song of the Year” for a song she wrote called “Mountain Top” and a duet with Ty Herndon called “When We Fly”. She is one of the youngest fiddlers to be inducted into “America’s Old Time Fiddler’s Country Hall of Fame” in LeMars, IA. Little Roy summed it up the best, “pull a plank off the wall and she’ll play it!” Rhyme ‘N’ Reason Friends; Doug Moerschfelder, and Stefan Van Holten, have found the right ingredients with Randy Brethour and Joe Rohrer, to create a diverse bluegrass band, with solid traditional and gospel roots. Doug’s soulful voice is sure to please bluegrass crowds, while Stefan’s banjo delivers the drive , Randy’s mandolin cuts through with sweet melodies, and Joe’s bass (Sara) playing adds a solid heartbeat to the group. Together they found their passion in the traditional bluegrass but at times they try out different tunes such as an old country song or maybe a good old rock and roll tune from the sixties and early seventies. They are looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new people at the festival and cannot wait to hit the stage and start playing some good ole traditional bluegrass music. Little Roy is awfully hard to overlook. He makes sure that no one in the audience gets bored at any time. Little Roy has won awards as Entertainer as well as for his banjo playing. Little Roy learned to play banjo when he was only six years old, and won a local talent contest for his playing when he was eight. Little Roy’s favourite banjo players are Don Reno and Earl Scruggs. USA Today called Little Roy ‘a banjo master, truly a picker’s picker’. Little Roy can also be found playing the guitar and autoharp. In fact, the song ‘Good Time Get-Together’ was written to highlight his instrumental skills. Little Roy is multi-talented - he sings, plays many instruments, tells stories, and acts. When you see this Duo, you are sure to notice Little Roy, and he’ll make you smile. GREAT UNIQUE GIFT IDEAS IN OUR VENDOR ROW Looking for strings, pics or a CD of your favorite Bluegrass band?

This four piece band has a sound and harmony that is guaranteed to get your feet tappin’ and your hands clappin’ The Barn Katz started playing together back in 2009 when friends got together and started playing and sharing their musical talents. They soon realized that they had a real connection and a sound that everyone loved so the Barn Katz Group was formed. 9 Mill Street East Tottenham, Ontario 905-936-4224 www.firehousepizza.ca Free Delivery to the Conservation Park Gate House The group consists of Joe Clark, who started on the Mandolin at age 8. By age 11 he performed in front of a full house with Bill Monroe “The Father of Bluegrass Music;” at age 14 he recorded with Kenny Baker and Josh Graves and then another record with Kenny and Josh at age 16. By the age of 18 he was recording steadily and working on the road. At age 20 he filled in on several occasions with Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys as upright bass player. At age 22 Joe played on the nationally acclaimed PBS series 25th Anniversary Austin City Limits with Larry Sparks, Ricky Skaggs, and Ralph Stanley. Joe is super excited to be part of the Barn Katz. “This group has been a long time in the making and every member has signed a lifetime agreement in BLOOD not to ever leave. So we are gonna entertain as many people as we possibly can and hope to meet and greet with every single one of you!” Suzie Sweetman brings outstanding original material, a powerful and emotional vocal ability, and an effervescent stage presence that can turn any frown upside down. To Suzie it is “all about the love” and this becomes very apparent when you see her on stage. She always has a great time performing and rehearsing but the underlying thought process that drives her is her desire to entertain and the uncanny ability to pick material, arrange it and present it, in a way that always leaves her audiences smiling.

Like the rest of his band mates, he’s got a long family history in music. Before joining Traditionally Wound, Sheldon played in the well known group Northbound in the late 1990’s, early 2000’s. Northbound was fortunate enough to represent Canada at the 2002 IBMA’s in Louisville, KY. An original member of Traditionally Wound, Sheldon’s feel for “how it should be done” is a integral part to Traditionally Wound’s overall sound. Sheldon is very much looking forward to the 2015 festival season with the new look and feel. Come on out to the Bass Workshop and pick Sheldon’s brain about what it takes to keep the Instrumental Group of the Year together. 11:00am – Mandolin –Emory Lester Emory’s landmark recording projects have placed him among the elite mandolinists of our time.

Beeton Creek Rising A newcomer to the local Bluegrass scene is the band Beeton Creek Rising. The band brings a wealth of experience and influences to the tradition of Bluegrass. Doug Cornish was introduced to the Banjo by Poco and The Eagles in the early 70’s but was quickly led to Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Country Gazette, Seldom Scene and a love of Traditional Bluegrass. AVAILABLE AT THE FRONT GATE. Accepting Interact, VISA and M/C call 905.936.2581 Bob Arbuckle is a veteran of Old Time Canadian Fiddle. At age 14, Bob was playing square dances and hasn’t stopped since. In recent years as a member of Higher Ground he caught the bluegrass bug. As a teenager, Drew Elmer discovered bluegrass at the Tottenham Bluegrass Festival. At a local jam, someone asked Drew to hold onto their Bass for a minute and he’s been pullin’ the solid Bluegrass beat ever since. Growing up, Sharon Niederhuber was heavily influenced by her Dad’s prized vinyl collection of Kitty Wells, Hank Williams, Dolly Parton and others. She emerged as a classic country singer and solid rhythm Guitar player and brings that great sound to traditional Bluegrass. Jerry Switzer’s bluegrass influence was in 1974ish with a cassette of the FDR Boys, with ‘Fox on the Run’. The instruments and the stacked voices hooked him. Jerry plays Guitar and Resophonic Guitar and has added Mandolin to his arsenal. Rod Abrams Funeral Home Limited Rod Abrams Allan Blakely Scott R.

The group today incorporates both original and new band members. The band is centered around the unique and powerful voice of the band founder and leader Richard Dugal. Known affectionately as “Dicky”, Richard Dugal, delivers the music with a raw power and emotion that has been the trademark sound of this group for years. Dickie is joined by original members Norm Tellier on mandolin, Ron Beingessner originally on banjo, and now dobro player. Both of these musicians have honed their instrumental and singing skills over the years as they traveled with other bands and now have returned to Clean Sweep.

My lilacs are just coming out in bloom, and my tulips are just beginning to fade. I hope that as the Tottenham Bluegrass Festival opens it is blessed with blue skies and warm breezes. On behalf of Folk Music Ontario, it is my honour and privilege to welcome you to this weekend of fine music and to congratulate everyone who has helped make it possible. Folk festivals shaped my life. Listening to guitarists like Leon Redbone and David Rea, and singers like Bessie Jones and the Georgia Sea Island Singers, and bands like the Great Speckled Bird made me want to be a musician. Folk festivals just seemed a lot more compelling than university, and the road looked more interesting than a career in law. Whether you’re here as a fan, a performer, a volunteer, or a vendor, you’re a part of a wonderful community called folk music. Here we can push our cares to the side for awhile and relax in the realm of imagination and creation. Buy some CDs, take home some fine Ontario craftwork, collect some autographs, talk with the artists, invite one to come and do a house concert in your living room. (Also, drink lots of water, and put your garbage in a proper receptacle.) Folk Music Ontario is proud to support the growth and development of folk music in Ontario. I encourage you to check out a few of the other great festivals across the province, each with its own special character and flavour. It takes huge commitments of time, money, energy, and talent to pull a festival like this together. Congratulations once again to all the volunteers and organizers and sponsors of Tottenham Bluegrass Festival and to all of you for being here to enjoy it. Have a great weekend.
