(MT. ANGEL, Ore.) - Internationally known but locally based, the original hard driving bluegrass band Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising will appear at the Mt. Angel Performing Arts Center on Saturday, February 2nd beginning at 7:30 PM.

Tickets are $10 at the door or in advance by calling 503-873-9611 or going to doranproductions.com.

Kathy Boyd, a well known northwest stage personality, plays the bass and is also the band's manager. Tim Crosby will play anything he puts his hands on with ease and professionalism, described as "Master of the musical metaphor". Tom Tower plays banjo and Dobro with a folk influence. Dennis Nelson's role is high tenor guitar picking fly boy, personifying bluegrass in it's truest sense.

These singer/songwriters are all seasoned professional entertainers who's live shows are quickly becoming legendary.

Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising are currently enjoying the success of their latest CD "Burning Down the House", which is receiving airplay not only across America but in places such as Belgium, France and Canada.

They recently appeared on the internationally syndicated radio show "Back Porch Music" where they were interviewed and performed two songs acoustically.

This band's 'old-timey' sound has a unique attraction, which you can sample at their myspace here: http://www.myspace.com/kathyboydphoenixrising
