Heartlands Hayride May 25, 2013

The World's Original WDVR Heartlands Hayride country music variety show

Boulevard Express Bluegrass Band was formed in 2009 by musicians from the Holmesburg Bluegrass Jam in Philadelphia, PA. Terita Reeve, from Montgomery County, PA, leads the band on vocals and guitar, while her husband Mike Reeve plays mandolin and dobro. Rick Shryock, from Delaware County, PA, plays fiddle and sings back-up vocals, and Aaron Campbell, from Delaware County, PA, plays banjo and sings lead and back-up vocals. Matt Steck is on bass, and he hails from Maple Shade, NJ.

Bill Clinton, one of the Hayride originals from the early years, returns to remind us of the integrity and soulfulness of traditional or classic country music. Bill has been picking and singing since a young lad, first with the popular Hugh Clinton band and with his own band, the Keystone Troubadours. He maintains a full performance schedule through the year, in demand for fairs, carnivals, church events, and especially the highly successful Bill Clinton country show held monthly for several years in Quakertown, Pa. And he writes and records country music!!

Bill Ponnett Champion of the old "squeezebox" accordion returns to help celebrate appreciation of the accordion. Bill has wowed crowds up and down the East Coast with his lively renditions of country and polka, and he’s a veteran band leader and radio personality. He’ll have ample opportunity to remind us of those bygone, musically satisfying years of the 30s, 40s, and 50s, as he leads the return to prominence of the accordion in a new millennium.

Linda Kay will grace the stage with her popular renditions of classic country and her folk interpretations. This liltingly lovely pride of Hunterdon County attracts huge crowds of fans, old and new, wherever she performs. Welcome home, Linda!

Chuck Pierman's homespun humor and lyrical comedy provide a welcome respite to the mix as he takes a break from his Delaware Township deer and groundhog farm.

Bill Brandon, our masterful band leader and organizer, reflects star-shine on the barn dance floor as he fronts the Hayride band and keeps the boys on their toes, including these fine musicians.

Al Kessel is a master musician, promoter, producer, publicist, singer and a talented writer.

Tom Mintz keeps the beat with some very tasteful percussion work.

Jim Thompson Mr. Personality: no one keeps the base thumping like Jim!!

Bill Ponnett, sits in with the boys—we’ll be hoppin’ and a-jumpin’ tonight !
