High Desert Bluegrass

1st Place Winners of the Bluegrass band competition at the 35th Annual Santa Fe Bluegrass and Old Time Music Festival - August, 2009

Lead vocalist, Vicci Seaton and her guitar playing husband Danny are behind the formation of High Desert Bluegrass. They debuted as a group on December 9, 2008 at San Juan College’s Enterprise Center during a holiday book fair. Although the group has played together informally for years at Bluegrass festivals and jam sessions with larger groups of musicians, they first appeared together at an Ole Time music reunion at Joe Moore Reservoir near Mancos, Colorado. Then they decided to get serious about being a band and practiced sets for their holiday gig. They appeared on KSJE public radio at San Juan College prior to the book fair in an hour long live interview where they played, sang and talked about the roots of Bluegrass music.

Brian Dotson plays banjo and sings harmony and lead, Ed Sullivan on mandolin, Sue Coulter on bass, and Danny Seaton plays rhythm guitar. The tunes range from traditional bluegrass to country and gospel and include such songs as upbeat Bluegrass favorite “Glendale Train”; “Going Back to the Blueridge Mountains’: and a few original song’s.

High Desert Bluegrass has one important motto when it comes to playing and singing
