Audience involvement is a priority for any Whitewater
performance. With true Southern charm and manners
Whitewater's MC, square-dance caller and bass man, "Uncle
Ted" White, will put you right at ease. He can have you
dancing and following calls in as little as fifteen minutes.
Combine this with some country wit and you have a show
with a solid foundation.

The driving rhythm of Bill Byerly's Martin guitar provides the
backdrop against which the melody of sound is woven. Bill
has been a veteran of the Asheville music scene for over 30
years. After discovering electricity, he became one of the
leading players of Southern Rock, dance music and Top 40
coming out of Western North Carolina. He returned to
acoustic music some 27 years ago, after he joined The
Whitewater Bluegrass Co.

Steve Sutton has had a vast and varied career. He cut his
musical teeth working for Raymond Fairchild in Maggie
Valley and went directly from there to working with the King of
Bluegrass, Mr. Good & Country, Jimmy Martin. He has helped
Rhonda Vincent create her sound with The Rage and most
recently worked with Alicia Nugent. Steve is an International
Bluegrass Music Award (IBMA) winner as well as a Grammy
nominated artist. His machine-gun delivery with the banjo
will leave you wanting more.

With the addition of David Pendley on mandolin, the blend of
the Whitewater sound has become riveting. Dave served for
ten years with "Ric-o-Chet," who recorded several albums
for Rebel Records. His distinct chop, paired with
impeccable timing, adds to the drive of Whitewater's accent.
In addition, his great ear for harmony and lead singing
make Dave a welcome addition to the Whitewater family.

Parton, as well as working for the Goose Creek Symphony.
Learning fiddle tunes at an early age at the knee of Uncle
Albert and Aunt Emma Hammond, Gary went on to become
a two-time Georgia State fiddle champion. He is a true
showman and a delight to witness as he performs.
