A TRUE ACOUSTIC SUPER GROUP!!

The Definition of the word Super group: A music group whose performers are already famous from having performed individually or in other groups.

By teaming up such revered masters as dobro player Mike Auldridge, bassist Tom Gray both founding members of the legendary, revolutionary band the Seldom Scene with rising-star vocalist Darren Beachley (formerly of bluegrass powerhouse Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver), Mandolinist Norman Wright (Bluegrass Cardinals, Country Gentlemen) and banjo player Mark Delaney (Country Gentlemen) such a group has been formed. Darren Beachley and the Legends of the Potomac harness the very best of bluegrass past and future. Soulful contemporary ballads share space with more rugged, traditional fair, with Beachley’s soaring tenor front and center and the tasteful virtuosity of Auldridge, Gray, mandolinist Norman Wright, and banjo player Mark Delaney steering the music with peerless precision. With their wide-ranging influences and open-ended approach to acoustic music, Darren Beachley and the Legends of the Potomac pay tribute to the fertile and inventive mid-Atlantic bluegrass scene from which they sprang.
