NOTE: I once worked in the Bluegrass Music industry, so this story caught my eye.
NEW YORK, April 16 /Christian Newswire/ -- Founding and fronting a Country Music band as an African-American is unusual enough, even more so, a BLUEGRASS Gospel band in New York City! But that is what Diane McKoy is doing.
McKoy has been active in Country/Bluegrass Music since 1980. Many consider her previous band New York City's first and only Bluegrass Gospel band.
Now McKoy is launching a newly embodied acoustic Gospel trio called "Diane McKoy and A Small Few". It features McKoy and two musician/singer friends; Steven Antonelli and Daniel Marcus.
Diane McKoy states, "Yes, I'm heavily into singing Bluegrass Gospel, and Country Gospel with old time fervor. It's what God put in me. Gospel Music has been the bedrock of my musical journey. My Christian faith has kept me grounded and is my source of resilience and preservation. God put in my heart 'a small few' in the late 1990's."
