Celebrating 78th Anniversary of The Clinch Mountain Boys
2024 marks the 78th Anniversary of The Clinch Mountain Boys. We are excited and pleased to carry on the Clinch Mountain style of music. Ralph II began working professionally for his father in the year of 1995 and has carried The Clinch Mountain Boys on since, as well as fronting the first Clinch Mountain Boys group after the passing of his father Ralph Edmond Stanley.
Grammy Award winning artist Ralph Stanley II & The Clinch Mountain Boys are currently touring across the country and internationally. They have also been working hard in the studio, releasing a #1 hit, ‘Back to Virginia’.
With seven #1 singles in his career, R2 is in heavy radio rotation across the country and on Bluegrass Junction, World Wide Bluegrass, iHeart Radio and Sirius XM.
The band includes Stanley Efaw on fiddle, mandolin, and vocals; Alex Leach on banjo and vocals; Randall Hibbitts on the upright bass and vocals; Caleb Shifflett on guitar and vocals; and Ralph Stanley II on the guitar and lead vocals. This band configuration brings a lot of talent, energy, and humor to the stage as they perform old-time favorites, bluegrass hits, and new original material.
Ralph II has had two Grammy nominations on previous albums he recorded with Rebel Records. In 2002 he earned his first Grammy along with his father Dr. Ralph Stanley for their collaboration with Jim Lauderdale on ‘Lost in the Lonesome Pines.’ Ralph II has proven to be an accomplished songwriter and has 6 solo albums under his belt, along with the highly acclaimed duet album with his father titled ‘Side by Side’.
Playing more than 200 shows a year, Ralph Stanley II & The Clinch Mountain Boys are an audience favorite at festivals, clubs, arenas, amphitheaters, country fairs, and wherever the blue bus might take ‘em!
