As a band trying to break onto the national
bluegrass scene, it is tough to do without a promoter with all the
connections and know how to get bookings at larger venues with a
small name. As soon as Buckeye Bluegrass contacted me and told me
what Sherri had in mind as far as helping bands, festivals, radio
and all around promotions of bluegrass in the state of Ohio. I was
sold!
Buckeye Bluegrass.com is the best
tool in promoting bluegrass in Ohio that I have seen on the internet.
It is an honor to be a part of something on the ground level and
with the enthusiasm behind this great idea I think we can all benefit
from it and will see it grow into something huge in time to come.

Blackwater Run would like to commend
Sherri Chekal for her time and devotion to Bluegrass Music.
Her website is great for bands like us, who have day jobs. In the
short time Buckeyebluegrass.com has been up and running,
we have two bookings in the works for 2005. We have had many hits
on our site, www.blackwaterrun.com,
after seeing us on Buckeyebluegrass. Keep up the great work Sherri!

Buckeye Blugrass is 'the' place for
Ohio bluegrass on the web! They've helped us get the word out about
our band,
Timber Wolves, including a great Band Page that we use to keep in
touch with our fans.

BuckeyeBluegrass.com is a revolutionary
way for the Ohio bluegrass community to gather, communicate,
promote and support each other. It has brought Appalachian Highway
state wide recognition and maybe more.

Being a promoter myself, I know first
hand how hard it is find new area bluegrass talent. Also being a
performer I know how hard it is to get jobs without a little help
from somebody. Buckeye Bluegrass is just the little help that promoters
and performers need. Jimmy Skinner, promoter for Bluegrass Junction,
has always used Ohio bands and has called me countless amount of
times asking for information on local bands down
here in my area. He called me the other day, and told me how nice
it was to have a site where he could go and find good Ohio bands
without calling all over the state. Sherri, I hope your head is
the size of a pumpkin, because you have earned it girl, keep up
the good work.
