Local Exchange is a HOT new bluegrass band entering the scene today with a fresh approach to arrangements and vocals using a unique blend of traditional music, new country songs and obscure material, not the same old done to death stuff you can hear anywhere. With a powerful trio focusing on the lead and harmony vocals of Michelle Nixon, combined with blazing instrumental work , Local Exchange would be a welcome addition to your festival or club event. Individual credits include an extensive recording history (some back as far as 1978), a grammy nomination, grand ole opry appearances, and many band and individual state championship 1st place winnings. Additionally, HUGHES MANDOLINS are fast becoming the mandolin of choice among players. Noted for their exceptional beauty, tone and ease of playability HUGHES MANDOLINS are on their way to the top!You can hear them on LOCAL EXCHANGE'S latest recording which, by the way received a HIGHLIGHT REVIEW in december 1998 Bluegrass Unlimited magazine.
