Small Town Life

Review Summer Brooke and Mountain Faith, having made their Grand Ole Opry debut and won the International Bluegrass Music Association 2016 Emerging Artist of the Year award, offer up a new album. Umbrella, the single, has received airplay, and listeners to Summer s voice will understand the band s name change to put her out front. Further justification for the move can be found in her being involved in writing Who Will You Be, Lazy River, Queen Anne s Revenge, Bring the Heat, Lead Me On, and 1969, either with her band mates or on her own. Brother Brayden (banjo), Cory Piatt (mandolin) and Nick Dauphinis (guitar) contribute the instrumental Jawbone Hill. The old Irish God s Blessings is the gospel track for this recording. Tim Crouch is on fiddle, along with Aaron Ramsey on bass, and fulfilling the roles of producer and mixer. The CD cover also indicates this is the acoustic version of the release, with a more elaborate version to follow with extra instrumentation that more closely resembles their TV competition on America s Got Talent. The project probably more closely represents the band s true evolving musical style. It s versatile and appealing to a wide age range. A refreshing collection, one that makes one think of outdoor music during the summer festivals. --IB MagazineDon t let the name confuse you: Summer Brooke & The Mountain Faith Band is the same group that took TV s America s Got Talent by storm in 2015, making it all the way to the show s semifinals, surprising many, given the show s target audience. The band has re-branded under the new name and released two versions of their new album, Small Town Life. One is labeled as a Special Acoustic Version, but there seems to be little difference in the two offerings, aside from a few studio guests on the regular edition. The band is fronted by Summer Brooke McMahan on fiddle and vocals and her brother Brayden on banjo. They are joined by Nick Dauphinais on guitar and Cory Piatt on mandolin. The group is based in tiny Sylva, tucked away in the North Carolina mountains, an area rich in traditional music. While they ve been performing together for 17 years, it s only in the last few years that they ve gained notoriety, following up the TV contest by winning the 2016 IBMA Emerging Artist Of The Year Award. Umbrella and Lazy River have been popular tunes with fans, and Perfect Day as well as the title track are solid as well. Bandmembers wrote or co-wrote seven of the eleven selections. --Bluegrass Unlimited
