The Expedition Show
The unique and entertaining musical journey of The Expedition Show blends tight vocal harmonies, white-hot picking, and side-splitting humor into a fast paced, non-stop, crowd-pleasing show! One of the fantastic surprises of this veteran group of musicians is the original songs and fresh sounds combined with old-school traditional spirit. Critically acclaimed master musicians and singers trained by the forefathers of bluegrass and the legends of the Grand Ole Opry have forged into a very special musical experience! Blake Williams, Wayne Southards , Kimberly Williams and Alex Hibbitts offer unlimited options with their performances. With the traditional, high-lonesome vocals of the International Acoustic Music Association's 2009 “Male Vocalist of the Year”, Wayne Southards, and the contemporary, songbird-style of Kimberly Williams, this band touts two of the finest lead vocalists in professional music today. Grammy-winning banjo player, Blake Williams is a master comedian and can work an audience into the palm of his hand with his wit and delivery. Toss in the mandolin prowess and energy of Alex Hibbitts, and you have an unprecedented entertaining band!

David Davis and the Warrior River Boys offer audiences a rare glimpse at the role of the frontman in American music. In Chicago Blues, it was Muddy Waters and the legendary Howlin’ Wolf. In Bluegrass music, it was Bill Monroe. Rather than operating under trendy “hit” oriented marketing schemes, frontman and mandolin player, David Davis simply nurtures his roots with integrity, tonal depth, and prose. Their newest Rebel release, “Troubled Times”, is imbued with the innate sense of purpose that defines David and The Warrior River Boys: carrying an Alabama family tradition.
