Cedar Hill is Atlanta’s most entertaining bluegrass band. This group of professional musicians features four lead vocalists, tight three and four part harmony, and skillful picking on the banjo, guitar, mandolin, fiddle, dobro and electric bass. But, it is their versatility, their “out of the box” creativity, and their timely use of humor and comedy that sets Cedar Hill apart from other bands. Cedar Hill performances display unique arrangements of bluegrass standards, and popular songs from other genres of music, with a few surprise twists and turns. When you go to a Cedar Hill performance, expect to be entertained, but also expect the unexpected.

Bluegrass Unlimited magazine called Cedar Hill “the fun bunch of the genre” while not mentioning the specific amount of any bribes they may have received. Luckily for the shameless reviewer, none of Cedar Hill’s members knew what a “genre” was and bloodshed was averted.

Performing since 1976, Cedar Hill has the remarkable track record of NEVER being rained on at a outdoor, paying gig. They did endure a heavy snowfall once, but to the promoters delight, they completed the show–obviously driven by the profit motive and partial paralysis due to the cold) For this reason, Cedar Hill is often booked strictly as a good luck weather charm, especially during the summer thunderstorm season.

Cedar Hill has performed their brand of bluegrass entertainment at many venues, clubs, conventions, concerts, festivals, private parties, and special events around the southeast. Cedar Hill was not nominated for a Grammy in 1995. They were voted “Favorite Entertainers” for five consecutive years at the McIntosh Amphitheater in Peachtree City, Georgia. They have the plastic trophies to prove it. Rumors of vote-buying and coercion were never proven and were most likely planted by jealous rivals.

The group has been called upon to perform at many of Atlanta’s premier events including the Coca-Cola Centennial, the 1996 Olympics (Underground Atlanta), and Peach Bowl Presidential Balls. Cedar Hill has opened for many national acts (such as Doc Watson, Leon Russell, Phish) at local concert venues such as Lakewood Amphitheatre and the Variety Playhouse.
