The Spinney Brothers Band is no more [for now - as of 2017] Starting in 2018, Gary Dalrymple will be preforming with Roxeen Roberts, as Roxeen & Dalrymple After 25 years as part of now retired Spinney Brothers band, Gary Dalrymple has decided to reunite with an old friend and hit the stage once again with a new act: Roxeen & Dalrymple. Teamed together originally 25 years ago, they reunited after a life of separate musical paths as a classic guitar and mandolin duet, a tour de force of vocals, rhythm and traditional melodies. They are highly respected veteran musicians, multiple East Coast Music Award and Maritime Gospel Music Award nominees, and winners of numerous Eastern Canadian Bluegrass Music Awards. “It’s sort of a throwback to the original sounds that were common in country music back then,” said Dalrymple on the new bluegrass duo. “In the southern states, it’s was more common to have a duo than a full band back in the hillbilly music bluegrass era. We’re doing a lot of two-part singing, and will be covering a lot of classic music as well as some songs of our own.” Dalrymple and Roxeen Roberts, the other half of the new bluegrass duo, performed alongside each other as part of the original Spinney Brothers band 25 years ago, before Roberts left to pursue other opportunities. “Although we hadn’t played on stage for some time together, we would often perform at the same venues or festivals,” said Dalrymple on the relationship between the two musicians. Roxeen & Dalrymple’s performances borrow heavily from early country and bluegrass sounds, featuring both originals and two-piece covers of classic bluegrass, country and gospel tunes. “In a nutshell, our goal is to have a song selection that means something to us but brings something to the audience as well,” said Dalrymple. “A full album is on the horizon, but we love what we are doing right now. We’re fortunate to be able to go out and play songs that mean something to us, so we’re taking that and running with it.” https://www.trurodaily.com/living/None/roxeen--dalrymple-bringing-traditional-bluegrass-and-gospel-music-to-truro-175311/
