Valley Grass

Valley Grass is a bluegrass gospel and bluegrass band that originated out of Rich Valley Presbyterian
Church. The band was started in March 2006 by Raymond Campbell, former member of Fescue, as a result of
individuals who were eager to learn how to play a musical instrument would meet weekly at the church and
from there the group was formed. Several members of the group have been and will continue to be mentors to
the youth that are interested in learning music.

Valley Grass has played at numerous gospel and bluegrass venues over the past few years. Some of
those include churches, community events, Big Walker Lookout, Pickin’ Porch, Crooked Road General Store
and The Lincoln Theatre. We play once a month at Mountain Laurel Rehab and Nursing Home as a part of our
contribution back to the community. The band, as well as its individual members, have won and placed in local
Fiddlers Conventions.

Everyone in the group holds dear to their faith and thanks God for the talents He has placed in their
lives. We give God all the praise and the glory for the wonderful things He has done in our lives and the lives
of others through our music ministry.
