Together almost
11 years, Blackstone
Valley Bluegrass
features renown banjo
picker Dave Dick, his
brother Bob Dick on
guitar, Dan Nowlan on
mandolin and Ken Taylor
on upright bass.
Blackstone Valley plays
great bluegrass music;
the fast ones fast - and
the slow ones - with
lots of feeling. Bob,
Dave, Dan and Ken have
all played in lots of
other bands - some
nationally famous such
as Salamander Crossing,
Northern Lights and
Front Range - but it is
together in Blackstone
Valley Bluegrass where
they really shine. Good friends all, they have the best time when they’re on stage. Jokes fly as fast as the notes, the boys swap blistering solos and even instruments, and they harmonize like the angels. They might even give up the microphones and walk into the audience to lead a gospel number before the set ends, which no matter how long is always way too soon. If you love bluegrass music and love a good time, you owe it to yourself to catch the Blackstone Valley Bluegrass Band live. Their audiences always have a blast, guaranteed! |

A little bit about Marty
White - Born in
Washington DC, he
considers Massachusetts
and Rhode Island his
adopted States. An
accomplished drummer and
self-taught keyboard
player, he performed in
top New England bands
such as Beg, Borrow and
Steal (BBS), Reason,
Fantasy, No Exit and The
Second Society. He
performed as a soloist
at the famous New York
City nightclub, Catch a
Rising Star. By the
early 90's, he began
concentrating more on
writing and arranging
original material and
worked with a local
Boston publishing
company. A little bit about Tom Galiazzo - An accomplished guitarist and harmonica player, he started out in the late 60's while being influenced by bands like the Ventures, The Beatles, Paul Butterfield and various other musical artists. Growing up in East Boston, MA, he put together his first band called The Henchman with friends from Maverick Square. His journey led him to other bands - The Cedar Street Blues Bank; Mason Dixon and the Line; Herb Reed and the Platters; The Second Society; Joey Scott; Double Play. Tom's hard driving style and soulful playing compliments Marty's precise and rhythmic arrangements that give this due a real high-energy sound and feel! |
