Harmony singing

We're so glad you stopped by to visit our little corner of the world wide web! We're a new bluegrass band out of the great state of Michigan that began practicing in late 2006 for a try at super stardom and world domination. We had a pretty good run throughout 2007, so much so that now we can boast a head count of 6.5 fans (we're going to have a talk with our statistician about that...not sure how that works.)

We have Tony Zapolnik on rhythm guitar and lead & harmony vocals, Jim Strangways on mandolin and lead & harmony vocals, Ken Mortimore on bass and lead & harmony vocals, and Paul Pope on banjo. We feature 3-part harmony and an energetic style that is fun to watch. We hope you'll look around our site and visit often.

Black Canyon earns stunning comments at tryout!

During the band's first tryout as a group, they made a definite impression on the distinguished and venerable judges of the West Michigan Bluegrass Music Association. The band gave a performance that the judges won't soon forget, and the judges made sure to put down their thoughts and reactions to the tryout performance on paper. Just follow the link below to take a look at what the judges wrote!
