Summer 2026

Greetings! Hope you are all having a fine summer so far.

Changes with the band. Jason Huntley, fiddle, has moved out of state . We all want to thank him for the years of his presence in the band. He is greatly missed. However, he has threatened to appear for a random show sometime in the future.

Also Steve Porter (Banjo) has moved on. He now has a boat and several grandkids.l. (nuff said.) Thanks Steve for all the years of service to Bridge County Bluegrass Band. It has beeb loads if fun. We will miss your picking and you high lonesome harmony sound.

But, not to worry, we are still performing and have plenty of folks that will be filling in banjo and fiddle until more permanent players come on the scene. Hope to see you down some road somewhere!

Brad, Jerry, and Merve

Blissfield Bluegrass by the River

Hi Friends, 

Big thanks to all who showed up at the 4th annual Blissfield Bluegrass on the River last Saturday. Pretty successful turnout and a beautiful day.  It is great to see everyone out in their lawn chairs listening to the music and having fun.   

Merv killed it on 'Corn!'  But he usually does.   

Keep checking back to the website for additional shows that are continually being added. 

Thanks,

- Brad, Jason, Jerry, Merv, and Steve

Liberty Center Founder's Day Ice Cream Social, Sunday, June 22

There were a few upgrades from last year: a tent for the band and a sound system.   Attendance this year was up...word must have gotten out.  A pretty good crowd of folks listened from chairs set-up in the shade of a big maple tree across from the old restored train depot. The Wabash Cannonball used to run past this location, but today it was a good source for Bluegrass music and ice cream.  It seemed appropriate to play "Wabash Cannonball".

The weather was great - an occasional cool breeze as the sun was beginning to sink toward the west.  

Jason’s new son, Aidan, attended with mom, grandma, and grandpa in tow.   

It was extra terrific to see hear Jerry (ex-mayor  of Liberty Center)  take a break on the bass during  “Blue Suede Shoes.”   Contemplating the mystery of politics right now…

Thanks Liberty Center for another great, small town event! We hope to see everyone again next year!
