From the Blue Ridge Mountains of Virginia comes one of bluegrass music's
most honest voices in the genre's history, Junior Sisk. Over the years, his
haunting, almost lonesome vocals have earned him the devotion of countless
traditional bluegrass fans from all over the world. His songwriting talents
helped the Lonesome River Band make their ascent into bluegrass stardom in
the early 1990's and then he became a member of Wyatt Rice & Santa Cruz and
ultimately Blueridge, again reaching new audiences that would eventually
follow him on his own musical path. In 1998, Sisk formed Ramblers Choice and
together they recorded and released their first solo project titled Sounds
Of The Mountains and also contributed to the award winning The Stanley
Gospel Tradition. Nominated numerous times for Male Vocalist of the Year by
the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) and Society for the
Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America (SPBGMA), Junior Sisk is at the
top of his game and has surrounded himself with a top notch band of
musicians including Jason Tomlin on bass and vocals; Chris Davis on mandolin
and vocals; Billy Hawks on fiddle and vocals; and Jason Davis on banjo and
vocals. Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice are enjoying great success with their latest
Rebel Records CD, “The Heart Of A Song.”
Junior Sisk & Ramblers Choice received SPBGMA’s
Album of the Year Award for “The Heart Of A Song“. Junior also received the Contemporary
Male Vocalist of the Year Honor for 2013. “A Far Cry from Lester and Earl“ was named
SPBGMA’s 2013 Song of the Year.
