Direct from the hills of Berea, Ky., world-renowned bluegrass group The McLain Family Band has enchanted audiences across the globe for over 50 years with their joyous contemporary Appalachian bluegrass music. The band’s sound is set apart by Raymond W. McLain’s banjo virtuosity, described by Banjo Newsletter as “mindboggling,” and the tight harmonies of Alice and Ruth McLain lilt and soar across original compositions steeped in Appalachia’s vibrant heritage. Between 1968 and 1990, The McLain Family Band performed in all 50 states, as well as 62 countries during 14 international concert tours—some as musical ambassadors of the U.S. Department of State.
