the Malpass Brothers
It's always a big night in Fountain when the Malpass Brothers are in town. Most of you know the routine: reserved seats for this show must be pre-paid, and they are highly recommended.
One of the best shows ever in Fountain featured the Malpasses with the legend on pedal steel, the late Mr. Don Helms.

Jean-Luc Leroux & the Grass Strings & Friends
Presented by the
North Carolina Bluegrass Association
All the way from the South Pacific island of New Caledonia, Jean-Luc's in Fountain tonight with some of the best bluegrass pickers around. From the Grass Strings--who've been performing since 1976 and have released six CDs-- we'll have Jeff Russell on guitar, Randy Mauldin on banjo, Jim Burris on mandolin, Lynn Russell on Dobro, and Ronnie Caudle on bass. They'll be joined by a couple of Montgomery General Store Players, Vivian Hopkins on bass and Randy Whitley on guitar, and a couple of Midnight Call pickers, Matt Hooper on fiddle and Don Rigsby on guitar.
The star of tonight's show, Jean-Luc is in the U.S. for performances and recording in Nashville, Tennessee. At home in New Caledonia, he hosts a country music radio show, writes his own country and bluegrass songs, and plays mandolin with his own band and others. He sings in both French and English and has released five CDs and is at work on a new one.
