| BRIGHTWATER JUNCTION, A POPULAR MISSOURI BLUEGRASS BAND, WAS FORMED IN MARCH OF 1996. DRAWING FROM YEARS OF MUSICAL EXPERIENCE, THE MEMBERS OF THE BAND PLAY TRADITIONAL BLUEGRASS MUSIC WITH EXCEPTIONAL TALENT AND A LOT OF ENTHUSIASM. THEY ARE ALWAYS IN DEMAND TO PLAY THROUGHOUT THE MIDWEST. THE BAND STAYS ESPECIALLY BUSY DURING THE SUMMER TRAVELING ACROSS SEVERAL STATES TO PARTICIPATE IN BLUEGRASS FESTIVALS. BRIGHTWATER JUNCTION HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO OPEN FOR MERLE HAGGARD IN APRIL OF 2003. MEMBERS OF THE BAND INCLUDE LYN AND TONYA COONES AND THEIR SON ERIC, AS WELL AS STEVE JORDAN AND JASON JORDAN. LYN SINGS LEAD AND HARMONY AND PLAYS THE BANJO WITH A THREE-FINGER SCRUGGS STYLE. TONYA SINGS LEAD AND HARMONY AND PLAYS BASS WITH A RYTHMN THAT IS RIGHT ON TOP OF THE BEAT. ERIC SINGS BOTH LEAD AND HARMONY AND PLAYS THE MANDOLIN WITH A MONROE STYLE THAT IS SECOND TO NONE. HE WAS VOTED MANDONLIN PLAYER OF THE YEAR BY THE SPBGMA ORGANIZATION IN 2008. JASON'S CONTRIBUTES A POWERFUL VOCAL TO THE GROUP AND PLAYS A GOOD SOLID RYTHM ON THE GUITAR. HE ALSO WRITES SONGS FOR THE BAND. STEVE'S FIDDLE PLAYING GETS THE AUDIENCE MOVING IN THEIR SEATS WHEN HE LAUNCHES INTO AN OLD FIDDLE TUNE. BRIGHTWATER JUNCTION GATHERS AROUND ONE MIC AND PRESENTS THEIR SHOW WITH EXCITEMENT AND HIGH ENERGY, NOT TO MENTION A LITTLE HUMOR. EACH MEMBER HAS A LOVE FOR TRADITIONAL BLUEGRASS MUSIC THAT SHOWS EVERY TIME THE BAND HITS THE STAGE. FROM OLD FIDDLE HOEDOWNS TO THOSE GREAT GOSPEL SONGS, THE BAND PLAYS BLUEGRASS MUSIC THE WAY IT WAS MEANT TO BE PLAYED. THEIR MAIN GOAL IS FOR THE AUDIENCE TO ENJOY THE MUSIC AS THEY DO. AS THEIR POPULARITY HAS GROWN, SO HAS THE DEMAND FOR THEIR MUSIC. BRIGHTWATER JUNCTION ALWAYS HAS CD'S AND TAPES AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE DURING THEIR PERFORMANCES. BE SURE TO STOP BY THE TAPE TENT AND SAY HELLO! |
