Get tickets now!

Get ready for an evening of an evening of foot-stomping, old-time country, bluegrass and gospel tunes as The Center for Southern Folklore presents Lisa Lambert & The Pine Ridge Boys Saturday night, March 20.  Showtime is 9:00 p.m.  Admission is $5.00.  The Folklore Store is located at 123 S. Main @ the Peabody Place Trolley Stop in the heart of downtown Memphis.
For many years, Lisa Lambert and her musical partner Scott Nunley have kept alive the spirit of real, down-home traditional country music.  Members of The Mississippi Alliance for Arts Education, Lisa and Scott are veteran performers, both as a duo and as members of the bluegrass gospel band, The Sparks Family Singers. Lisa is a classically trained pianist who has been playing the guitar since age 8.  She also plays a mean fiddle and steel guitar.  Scott Nunley plays the harmonica, mandolin, and autoharp.  Both sing leads and harmonies. Their varied music interests include blues, bluegrass, western swing, country, jazz, old time, gospel, and Americana.
The Pine Ridge Boys were an area sensation during the 1940s and 1950s.  In early 2007, the surviving members of the original band (Bryan Sparks, Leon Shots, Nolan Wells, and Dolan Taylor) resurrected The Pine Ridge Boys & added some "new blood" (Curly Ward, Lynn Grissom, & Brandon Sparks).  They successfully burst back on the music scene with two new CD's:  "Precious Memories" and "The Pine Ridge Boys 2nd Album."
Always eager for a new challenge, The Pine Ridge Boys agreed to join Lisa and Scott in some new CD projects and a road show.  Mixing gospel and secular bluegrass music ‑ sprinkled with a little blues, jazz, and real country music ‑ the band puts a new twist on forgotten classics.  In the process, they've unearthed a new audience for this old-timey music.  Not only that, but they're lots of fun too!
