The Vaughns
Founded in 1999, in the mountains of West Virginia, the Vaughns Bluegrass Band has developed
their own unique and diverse style of music. The group originally began with John Vaughn on guitar, with his sons David on
mandolin and Daniel on bass; along with close friend Dave Matheny on banjo. With their three part harmony and tasteful instrumentation
the Vaughns quickly became a well known group in Central West Virginia. Once people came to learn about the group and hear
their music, the band soon began playing at area fairs and festivals. Ranging from the Sagebrush Roundup, the Apple Butter
Festival, Gassaway Days, Dutch ridge and the Amish Country in Sugarcreek Ohio; the Vaughns have broadened their playing area
and continue to play at many wonderful places. Later in 2003, the band would be joined onstage by Dave Mathenys youngest daughter
Molly playing the fiddle. In the following year, after regrouping, the band would be joined by Mackenzie Murphy on the bass.
Both would help to continue the sound and the style established by the group. In 2002, the band released their first cd entitled
West Virginia Ride; with the title track being an original song written by Dave Matheny and Dave Vaughn. Recently, in 2005
the band released their newest cd entitled Black Water. Once again, the title track was another original by Dave Matheny and
Dave Vaughn. Along with the title track the cd also has another original by Dave Matheny and Dave Vaughn entitled, The Traveler.
The Vaughns continue to provide a talent that combines harmony and instrumentation in a true bluegrass style. They will get
your hands clapping and your toe tapping and leave you wanting to hear more.
