Few bands stick around for multiple decades.  No band has had more fun doing it in the last 18 years than Songs From The Road Band.  They released their first studio album in 2006.  The band captivates audiences with virtuosic picking, harmony singing, and grammy award winning songwriting.  The band has always been willing to take risks while staying true to its bluegrass roots.  From traditional bluegrass events to jam band concerts and from performing arts centers to world music festivals the Songs From The Road  Band delivers.  Their live show blends musical genres and appeals to all age groups of music lovers.  Band members are Mark Schimick (mandolin), Charles Humphrey III (bass), Sam Wharton (guitar), James Schlender (fiddle), and Gabe Epstein (banjo).   Several of their songs have gone to the top of the Bluegrass charts. They have 6 studio albums available at all musical outlets.

“The Western North Carolina quintet is this band of melodic pirates, roaring down the highways and backroads of Southern Appalachia in search of a stage to play, perhaps another kindred spirit to collaborate with in the sacred art of songwriting and creating something (beautiful and permanent) from nothing (thin air and momentary inspiration).”
