Volume Five (Website)

Volume Five is certainly blazing a red-hot trail on the bluegrass scene with their live stage performances and chart topping albums. Their newest release, Drifter, on Mountain Fever Records, certainly demonstrates their various styles of bluegrass that has earned them critical acclaim from media, radio and their peers. The album made its debut on the Billboard Top 10 Bluegrass Album Chart and has achieved significant radio success this year with four tracks charting and two singles reaching #1 on the Bluegrass Today Top 20 Chart.

In 2015, the band received two separate industry award nominations. Volume Five was nominated for the International Bluegrass Music Association's Emerging Artist of the Year Award and also a GMA Dove Nomination for Bluegrass Song of the Year for "Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man" featuring guest vocals by the Queen of Bluegrass Rhonda Vincent on the Dolly Parton cover song from their album VOICES. That album received significant radio airplay and hit #1 on SiriusXM Radio’s Bluegrass Junction Most Played Albums with “Dream Softly” in the top spot the program’s Most Played Tracks in April 2015. Five songs achieved chart success on Bluegrass Today’s Top 20 Song chart including “King of California,” “Dream Softly,” “Faithfully,” “Going Across the Mountain,” and “Colder & Colder," and “Daddy Was An Old Time Preacher Man."

In 2014 Volume Five garnered two International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) nominations: one for IBMA Emerging Artist of the Year and also for the IBMA Gospel Recorded Performance of the Year for The Day We Learn To Fly (album), Stacy Richardson and Leroy Drumm (writers), Volume Five (producers), Mountain Fever (label). The band’s first gospel and fourth overall release on Mountain Fever Records was the well-crafted Southern gospel flavored bluegrass album, The Day We Learn To Fly, from which their nominations stemmed.

Volume Five was founded by leader Glen Harrell in early 2008 and has now grown into one of bluegrass music’s most unique new acts. “When I put this group together, I knew the style of music I wanted us to play and the goals we wanted to achieve. It was just a matter of finding the right guys who wanted to create their own identity in the industry. I didn’t just want us to be another band that moves onto the scene and is gone in a few years, but one that would have a unique sound that players and listeners would remember for many years to come - one that sounded like no other band in the business,” said Glen.

The band includes the talents of Glen Harrell (Fiddle & Vocals); Chris Williamson (Bass, Vocals); Patton Wages (Banjo & Vocals); Colby Laney (Guitar & Vocals), and Jacob Burleson (Mandolin, Vocals.) These five musicians together truly blend into a band with staying power. Volume Five's touring schedule has afforded them the benefit of playing with numerous artists over the years, some of whom have become fans such as Buddy Melton of Balsam Range who says, “What defines a great band? Superior musicianship, impeccable singing, moving song selections...Volume Five has all the above and more...Extremely talented, yet humble and genuinely real people. Volume Five has a magical quality about them that will undoubtedly make a lasting impression in the world of acoustic music."
