The 34th annual Ashland University Spectrum Series continues with the
iconic musical family, The DePue Brothers Band, for a* main stage
performance, senior citizen matinee*, and *percussion clinic* on March 14
and 15.

Originating from Bowling Green, Ohio, the DePue Brothers
Band<http://cts.vresp.com/c/?AshlandUniversityMus/f828ed4735/1af00b4fad/ec078896bf>
is
an entertainment powerhouse encompassing a vivid blend of bluegrass,
classical, and rock genres. Each brother is a classical violinist virtuoso
in his own right, and brings rich and diverse talents to their sound. As a
family they have been making music together for over 25 years. They were
named "Musical Family of America" in 1989 by presidential decree, were the
subject of a nationally televised PBS documentary in 1993, and two brothers
(Jason and Zach) were featured in the film documentary *Music From the
Inside Out* in 2005. Their first album as brothers, *Classical Grass*, sold
out of its first printing.

For their visit to Ashland, violinists Wallace and Jason DePue join
guitarist Mark Cosgrove, Mike Munford on banjo, Kevin MacConnell on bass,
and percussionist Don Liuzzi.  Four members of this sextet have performed
with the Philadephia Orchestra and several notable classical ensembles
while others have performed with ensembles such as Philly Pops, POPG
percussion group, Tony Trischka's "Double Banjo Spectacular," with jazz
greats Mel Torme, Billy Eckstine, and international performers such as
Natalie Cole, Merv Griffin and opera diva Denyce Graves. With this
progressive mix of genres, the band gives a direct nod to their bluegrass
tradition and their classical training, while adding a deeper infusion of
rock and blues.

Their main stage performance will be held on Saturday, March 15 at 7:30 p.m. in
the Hugo Young Theatre.  The high energy and diverse program will feature
pieces from Aaron Copland's *Hoedown* to Earl Scrugg's *Flint Hill Special*,
J. S. Bach's *Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring*, Van Halen's *Ice Cream Man* and
Rouse's *Orange Blossom Special* along with many others.

This artist residency has been awarded grant support from the National
Endowment for the Arts; the Ohio Arts Council with state tax dollars to
encourage economic growth, educational excellence and cultural enrichment
for all Ohioans; and the Pennsylvania Performing Arts on Tour, a program
developed and funded by The Heinz Endowments, the William Penn Foundation,
the Pennsylvania Council on the Arts, a state agency, and The Pew
Charitable Trusts with administration by Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation.
