Publications  Thursday, 26 September 2013 18:24  Heart of the
matter  Written by     Filled with the musical attitudes of
bluegrass, old-time country and early rock-n-roll, the band is
influenced as much by Bill Monroe as The Band, by Johnny Cash as
The Grateful Dead. It’s about creating something bigger than
yourself, about embracing the deep roots of mountain music and
incorporating it into modern times, and sharing it with those
family and friends you care about most.      At the center of
the group is Burress, a beloved singer amid the regional music
scene. He has the look and swagger of someone destined for
greatness, a notion that seems closer and closer as the years
wear on. His family has been in Western North Carolina for
generations. He aims to bridge the connection between his
ancestors and himself through the vocals he pushes through the
microphone with every ounce of his soul.  The past year is
shaping up to be a cornerstone time for Burress.
