After a summer that included an appearance at Bonnaroo, a rock festival some call “the modern day equivalent to Woodstock,” the Cherryholmes Family are joining Dr. Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys on tour. Cherryholmes and Stanley have scheduled four dates out west  for late October that culminate with a Los Angeles show at UCLA’s Royce Hall.

Cherryholmes’ latest release, “Cherryholmes III: Don’t Believe” on Skaggs Family Records continues to garner positive reviews with a recent NPR review by Meredith Ochs who stated, “Playing bluegrass requires intense technical skill. …you’d think it would take a lifetime to get really good at it. Cherryholmes is one exception to the rule. Bluegrass wasn’t always a big part of the family’s lives, yet they reel off songs with such ease, it’s hard to imagine that they’ve been playing for only a few years.”
