Mountain Heart

Once again Mountain Heart wowed the sellout crowd and brought them to their feet several times over. At times the crowd was completely silent, jaws open, their full attention on the stage as Josh Shilling, Barry Abernathy, Aaron Ramsey, Jim VanCleve, Jason Moore and their newest member Jake "Sarge" Stargel played on their heartstrings. Being completely at ease with the welcoming crowd at The Ark, the boys of Mountain Heart cut loose and threw caution to the wind, never once playing it safe the entire evening.

They are Awsome. Such a talented band. Very entertaining. Love Them.

That was one of the most amazing shows that has been to the theater!!!! The most talented band I have seen in a long time...High Energy!!! Singer is AMAZING!!!! I will be back to see them as soon as they are back in town!

Top quality musicians having a whole lot of fun. The place was 1/3 full...Should have been packed. The band members did not seem to mind. They are totally capable of picking traditional Bluegrass but they push the boundaries. I arrived a few minutes late to hear Whipping Post. Even a traditional Bluegrass number extended into jazz infused jams. Next time they come to Cleveland we need to pack the place. Tell everyone.

What a shame so many people assign a stereotype to a genre of truest of American music. Mountain Heart is one of the most talented group of talented musicians on the rise in the country. Their performance was just incredible. They "Rocked" the place !! I make it a point to see them EVERY time they come around. Forget what you may think of "Bluegrass" music and go see this group. You won't be sorry, in fact you will be AMAZED...

On the recommendation of my son, who likes bluegrass, my husband and I attended the Cain Park concert in Cleveland Hts, OH. Mountain Heart has two new fans. We enjoyed the entire evening as not only is the lead singer fantastic the music had us tapping and clapping all evening long. These are truly accomplished musicians. Their music is not just bluegrass, but includes a touches of blues and jazz. Go see them!

What a great group. What great music. I would travel to see them. They had everyone going

This is one of my favorite groups. They are ALL OUTSTANDING individual musicians and absolutely incredible when together. Their harmonies when they sing are tight and consistent. They looked like THEY were having a blast playing for us. Thank you for an incredible night. We hated that it ended, but have CD's to hold us over until the next time!! A MUST SEE CONCERT!!!

These guys are superb musicians & have a rapport with the audience that is outstanding. Go see them! As often as possible! Worth a few hours drive, if that's necessary!

My first time to see Mountain Heart Live. They are fantastic! I have all of their CD's and listen to them a lot. However, there is nothing like seeing them live. Besides being great musicians they can also sing and they have fun personalities.

I had seen Mountain Heart before, a couple of years ago, I think at the Ann Arbor Folk Festival. They impressed me so much then that I made a note to see them again when I could. I missed their previous performance at the Ark, however. What an energetic, talented and versatile group they are! It's a rare privilege to see and hear young musicians who are probably in their prime years of stamina, creativity and virtuosity. They obviously enjoyed working together and they easily conveyed that joy to the sold-out house. We all had a marvelous time and they let everybody know how grateful they were they we were such a warm audience and how pleasant and intimate the venue was.

Mountain Heart's performance was again amazing. At the Ark, it's more like having the group jamming in your livingroom and being lucky enough to be there while it all happens. Not to say the audience isn't involved - the energy never stops. With no intermission and more than two hours of great music - blue grass/new grass, gospel, jazz, blues and even a bit of rock - if voices and fingers held out, the audience would have wanted more and Mountain Heart would still be there playing. New 20 year old on the guitar was a super awesome player. Love them all!!!!!!!!!

Wonderful show. Much more than I anticipated! All different types of music, they looked like they truly enjoyed themselves. Very talented group of people
