A group of friends that had played bluegrass music that is from the heart for quite some time, decided to form a band in 2009 to play the Island bluegrass festival circuit. The name of their band, Heartfelt Bluegrass, simply evolved from their style of playing. They’ll be returning to the 2025 edition of the Evangeline Bluegrass Festival in Abram-Village – Fans won’t want to miss their great performances.
Over the years, they’ve played at Evangeline as well as at the St. Louis Bluegrass & Oldtime Music Festival, the Summerside Bluegrass & Acoustic Music Festival and the PEI Island Bluegrass Festival in Dundas.
The newest additions to the band are Cheryl Currie on upright bass and her husband John Currie on guitar; both do lead and harmony vocals. Other band members are Larry Jones on vocals and Wilma Jones on mandolin, guitar and vocals. All four have previously performed with other bands.
