Blue Moon Rising. Blue Moon Rising is an East Tennessee based band with a unique and exciting sound, true to traditional bluegrass, yet fresh with new, original material. Their name is derived from the title of a newspaper article commemorating the life of the “Father of Bluegrass Music,” Bill Monroe.

The band has a busy 2006 tour schedule performing at major events and festivals including Bean Blossom's Uncle Pen Days, Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival, Poppy Mountain, Bloomin' BBQ and Bluegrass and many more. The band is also performing at numerous other concerts, bluegrass in schools programs and TV including Fox 5 tv show, "Good Day Atlanta.

"On the Rise" is the band's third album and the first on the Lonesome Day Records. Steve Gulley of the band Mountain Heart says, “In my opinion, they're the best kept secret in bluegrass music, but look out because that's about to change. Simply put, this band has it all. They play well, sing well, and write well. Couple that with the fact that they are all Tennessee natives (with one Kentuckian to boot) and you not only have the complete package . . . you have the real thing . With credentials like that in a little over three years, it's safe to say this Blue Moon is definitely Rising.
