Mark Johnson & Emory Lester

Two of the best instrumentalists in bluegrass will be back at Wintergrass 2008. Mark & Emory’s latest album Acoustic Rising on the Mountain Home label was nominated for the IBMA Instrumental Album of the Year. Mark plays a unique blend of clawhammer banjo in a bluegrass style and Emory plays the mandolin based in bluegrass with new age and jazz influences. Working has a duo has given these two plenty of room for unique arrangements to compliment their unique styles.
