Band Spotlight: Blue Pearl

     This year at the TallGrass Festival we will have performing for us, a regular at our festival, Blue Pearl.  Blue Pearl plays good old fashioned bluegrass music, with a slick intricate detail for picking and harmonious vocals.  They will be kicking off our gospel night, when they take the stage on thursday May 31st at 6:00 pm.

The members of Blue Pearl have been friends, and playing for years now. Blue Pearl played as the house band at the theme park Dry Gulch USA for several years, as well as the Chili and Bluegrass Festival in Claremore and other area venues.
Band members include: Shirley Gunderson - vocal, emcee, Steve Earnest - vocal, lead guitar, Doug Scott - fiddle, Trish Webster - vocal, bass, Paul Gunderson - vocal & banjo.
