From the western foothills of the Allegheny Mountains, Pennsylvania's Allegheny Drifters are one of the strongest vocal bands on the bluegrass scene today. Their pure harmonies, accomplished instrumental work and deep knowledge of the roots and branches of the music gives them a unique spot in the current world of bluegrass. Seasoned entertainers, they breathe new life and excitement into the music on stages everywhere.
Bob Artis and Bernie Cunningham's superb duet blend offers the sound and feeling of the golden age of bluegrass. When joined by the warm, high harmony of Karen Artis, this band has a thrilling vocal sound seldom heard in traditional groups today. Add to this Bob's soulful retro-Monroe mandolin and Keith Beaver's punchy banjo, and you have an unbeatable bluegrass sound straight from the heart of the old Keystone State!
"The Allegheny Drifters present exciting, energetic, real bluegrass."
- John Trout, WYEP 91.3 FM, Pittsburgh, PA
"Tremendous talent and deep respect for the soul of the music they perform."
- Tim Custer, Coleman Station Bluegrass Festival
