"Colorado Bluegrass"
Kerry Claxton was
born into a Kentucky bluegrass family. She has fond
memories of her Grandma sawing on the fiddle as her
Dad and her Grandpa strummed the guitar. She picked
up the guitar in her early teens, but at the age of
20, she heard Dave Grisman play the mandolin, and
she was hooked.
Kerry went on to play in several bluegrass bands including; Mountain Standard Time, Shades of Bluegrass, Homemade Jam, Turning Point, and the Coal Creek Bluegrass Band.

A gifted player and
award winning composer, she released her first cd,
“Reel Dreams” in 1997. Combining exceptional vocals
and crisp, musical, high energy mandolin, Kerry’s
love of bluegrass is reflected in every song she
plays.
