Country Singer Elizabeth Cook Live at the St. Johnsbury School Auditorium

Elizabeth Cook
Indie Country Music Star
and Grand Ole Opry Regular


Often compared to Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Emmylou Harris, Elizabeth Cook is a sharp observer and country music rebel who is maybe best understood in her own words, spoken after the release of her latest album,
Welder

"I'm not a welder, at least not in the typical sense of the trade.  But my daddy is, by way of 2300 hours of training that certified him, courtesy of the Atlanta Federal penitentiary.  I myself couldn't put a rod in the thingamajig.  But I do tend to fuse things, confuse things, sometimes with sparks, sometime like a lava melt, sometimes back by a tank of compressed air ready to blow, sometimes quiet as a slow leak."

"Don't look at it directly...it'll burn your eyes" mama used to yell.  I stood bare-footed hanging on the inside of the screen door of our Florida patio.  I love watching the electron-beam of our family business, Cook's Welding, at work in our tiny dirt yard.  It was so hard not to look.  Couldn't help but look.  And the rawness of my new album Welder is case and point.  Apparently, I still can't help but look.  It's my damnation and my salvation.  And it's my job.  I have to look"

The Bob Amos Band

From 1988-2003 Bob Amos was the lead vocalist, guitarist, songwriter and front man for acclaimed Sugar Hill recording artists Front Range, one of the top contemporary bluegrass bands in the USA and Europe. Over their fifteen year history Front Range recorded seven CDs, received constant airplay on acoustic- oriented radio stations, and performed at concert venues and music festivals in 42 states, 12 countries and on 3 continents. In 2000, Singout! Magazine reviewer John Lupton called Bob "one of the most consistently interesting and intelligent songwriters in American music."

Currently, Bob leads the Vermont based Bob Amos Band, an acoustic music and harmony vocal tour de force featuring Bob on guitar and vocals, his son Nathan on bass and vocals, daughter Sarah on percussion and vocals, and mandolinist Gary Darling. The band's repertoire consists of a wide variety of songs penned by Amos, with stylistic influences ranging from bluegrass, folk, country and celtic, to blues and rock-a-billy.
