Since 1998, Joe LaMay and Sherri Reese have been keeping alive a form of music that is more and more becoming a thing of the past. They produce a unique blend of traditional folk and bluegrass that captures the sentiment and color of an earlier time in our rich musical heritage. Personable and talented, they are excellent concert, festival and workshop participants. Their performances are a mixture of melody, harmony and humor. With guitar, old-style banjo and a sound rooted in the mountains and valleys of America’s southeast, LaMay & Reese offer a repertoire of story songs and ballads that are guaranteed to entice the novice and please the traditionalist. Their presentation of old songs combined with original compositions written in the traditional style demonstrates a seamless transition from the preservation to the propagation of this treasured art form.
