Story #3
DALE PERRY RECEIVES NEW HUBER BANJO


You’ll see and hear Dale sporting his new Huber “Kalamazoo” model banjo at Continental Divide shows.  Dale relates… “This instrument is incredible!! “It went from Steve Huber’s hands, into the case, back out of the case and in my hands playing on stage is the span of about 20 minutes.  No set up, no tinkering… I just hooked up the strap and blasted off.  This banjo and sounds as much like a pre-war Mastertone as anything I have ever played.”  Like more info on Huber Banjos?  Visit their website:

Story #4
DALE PERRY RECEIVED AWARD & RECOGNITION AS PRODUCER
 

2006 was a great year for our own Dale Perry, and 2007 is shaping up to be the same. It should come as no surprise that Dale Perry can play the bass, the banjo and can sing. He has 5 IBMA awards to prove it. Add to that collection a brand new one, in a new category… IBMA award winning producer. Blue Circle Records “Back to the Well,” performed by the “Daughters of Bluegrass,” walked away with the International Bluegrass Music Association’s coveted “Recorded Event of the Year” for 2006. The project was conceived by Carolina Road bandleader, Lorraine Jordan, and was recorded at Dale Perry’s Lakeside Recording Studio, with Dale at the controls, and serving as producer. “This makes me as happy as anything I’ve done in the music business thus far,” a grateful Dale Perry commented. “Until now, folks have only known me as a musician, but I love the recording side of the business just as much.”  Dale’s abilities as a engineer/producer can also be found in the fact that the last two releases recorded by The Churchmen, have received Dove awards nominations… an incredible feat for a studio that started in a garage as a hobby. Lakeside Recording is located in Moneta, VA. Phone: 540) 420 3411
