Your text here "TwoGrass" duo Eddie & Martha joins with longtime friend Tom Gray  to offer a peek  into some of the songs that resurrected bluegrass music in the mid-20th century. In the 1950s Eddie had been starving out as one of Bill Monroe's Blue Grass Boys after Elvis hit big; Eddie's former employer, Mac Wiseman, had abandoned touring for the administrative side of the business. Bluegrass music was on life support until Eddie was persuaded to join the fledgling Country Gentlemen.  With their stratospheric musicianship, synergy and brash attitude, they reinvented and reinvigorated Bluegrass. Eddie (considered by many the true father of newgrass music) and Tom Gray were both members of the Gentlemen during the group's watershed creative early recording days in the 1960s.  They took their exhilarating brand of bluegrass far afield into urban areas and colleges, and onto the turntables of doctors and lawyers, leaving the overalls and hay bales behind. The 1970s saw Eddie and Martha in Second Generation, a band founded by Eddie in the vanguard of progressive bluegrass; Tom was an original member of the much-loved Seldom Scene.  Both bands took their place in the roster of influential bluegrass groups.   Patuxent Music is the creation of Tom Mindte (MSEE) a versatile musician, bandleader, and studio engineer whose musical abilities and tastes cover a wide variety of styles. The common denominator is authenticity, an attribute difficult to define but easy enough for the listener to hear. Whether it's a fiddler playing an old mountain hoedown, a bluesman singing "Key To The Highway" or a jazz combo playing Duke Ellington, the music is always real, always true to the style, always compelling to hear.
