Bio
“Berachah Valley brings to their performances a true spirit of fun and tradition along with inspiration that reaches out beyond the music. We love having them on the World’s Original Wheeling Jamboree USA!” – D. Heath / Exec. Dir, Wheeling Jamboree, Inc.
Berachah Valley was created in the spring of 2005 when a few friends came together searching for a place to play traditional bluegrass, gospel, and traditional renditions of current favorites. Audiences quickly see the result is a uniquely smooth combination of musicianship and female vocal harmonies influenced by the recordings of The Isaacs’, The Forbes Family, Emmylou Harris, The Whites, and other various artists.
The name for the band is found in its theme Bible verse, II Chronicles 20:26. The players will testify that the clearly evident camaraderie seen on stage is the natural fruit of the great blessing of good friendships and shared faith.
Berachah Valley has had the good fortune to travel to Indiana, Tennessee, Michigan, Missouri, West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, North Carolina and Ohio to perform at many bluegrass festivals, bluegrass and gospel venues, radio programs, TV programs, fairs and community events.
Berachah Valley is currently included as the bluegrass band in a new family film called “Mayberry Man”.
The movie is about an arrogant movie star that is busted for speeding in a small southern town and is sentenced by a judge to attend Mayberry Fest: a festival, celebrating The Andy Griffith Show. Immersed in this modern day Mayberry, he discovers the true meaning of friendship and family.
The group filmed on location in Indiana and Mount Airy, North Carolina. The spirit of Mayberry is something that the world could use a little more of and that is what inspired the writing of the screenplay, Mayberry Man.
