The programs ranged from appearances at Bluegrass Festivals, Church Services, Fairs, Private Parties, Weddings, Radio/TV Shows, College Campuses, and Reunions .Much support has been contributed from radio stations and audiences have responded immensely to the group performances. There’re a lively and fun group to be around.

January of 2008 Leipers Fork Bluegrass completed their #2 CD recording session and the CD release date set for March 31, 2008. The CD feature song is the title of the new CD; “MY OLE SUSABELL”. A song about a guy that won’t give up his love for his gal named SUSABELL. The song is penned by Leipers Fork Bass player and Baritone vocalist Lance Work. The CD project has 3 original songs and 15 other two stepping, foot stomping, hand clapping cover songs.
April of 2010 the group released the third and fourth CD projects.
The traditional project titled: “SIGN OF THE TIMES” is a CD with a variety of original
and cover songs varying from true blue bluegrass, country, a rock and roll remake, to the groups own rendition of “DIXIE”. The gospel CD titled: “RISE and WALK” is an
original song penned by our good friend John Crockett and one original penned by our own Lance Work. The CD is filled with other good foot stomping, hand clapping and moving gospel classics.
Leipers Fork Bluegrass has great expectations in the coming years and committed to travel wherever doors may open for them to enhance and promote their artistry gifts.
Each member contributes the greatest assets and qualities for a group to survive and that is commitment to the music genre of bluegrass music and the love of God and family.
Plans in the future are to get signed with a record label, sign with a promotional management agency, set up a good marketing plan and get on board with some promoters of Bluegrass Festivals.
