MUSIC FOR LUNCH!  

Bring your lunch to the Center for Southern Folklore Store - or buy one from us - for a lunchtime filled with Americana music by Lisa Lambert & The Pine Ridge Boys Friday, February 13 from noon to one. 
 
Lisa Lambert & Scott Nunley are members of The Mississippi Alliance for Arts Education, and have been performing for years as a duo and with several bands such as bluegrass gospel performers, The Sparks Family Singers  Both Lisa and Scott play a variety of instruments and sing, but Lisa especially brings authenticity and a truckload of soul to her countrified vocals.  At the 2007 Waterway Festival in Burnsville, MS, Lisa asked a couple of the venerable Pine Ridge Boys to accompany her onstage and before long the entire band began performing live and on CDs with Lisa and Scott.
 
From 1949-1959, The Pine Ridge Boys were a Mid-South sensation. In early 2007, the surviving members of the original band resurrected The Pine Ridge Boys & added some new blood.  They burst back on the music scene with two successful CD's ("Precious Memories" and "The Pine Ridge Boys 2nd Album").  Lisa Lambert & The Pine Ridge Boys tailor their music to their audience but their shows generally include a mixture of gospel and secular bluegrass music sprinkled with a touch of jazz, some old time country music and what they call "hillbilly blues."  Not content with playing the same old tunes the same old way, the band adds new twists to forgotten classics delighting old fans while creating a generation of new ones.
