Buzzard Mountain Boys
About Buzzard Mountain Boys
Joe Bob Matteson and Jim Bob White are The Buzzard Mountain Boys. These two
guys play an amusing selection of Bother Duet, Bluegrass and Old-Time
music, interspersed with enough corny humor to warm your heart and take
you back to the days of the traveling minstrels! Both musicians are
residents of Lumpkin County and are fixtures in the North Georgia
traditional music community and heavily involved in the promotion of
Appalachian Music.
Joe is an accomplished mandolin, guitar, and tenor-banjo player. His
Monroe style mandolin breaks and fiery banjo strumming will set your toes
to tapping. He has played in several bluegrass, old-time and gospel
ensembles through the years. Jim plays a lively fiddle, old-time tenor
guitar, and sets the rhythm with his solid six-string guitar work on his
'49 D-18. Brother duet harmony is the Buzzard Mountain Boys’ forte and
takes you back to the roots of bluegrass and rockabilly. A sprinkling of
good-natured humor peppers their performances.
Jim is the chairman of the Bear on the Square Mountain Festival, a charter
board member of Georgia Pick and Bow Traditional Music School Program, an
advisory board member of the Appalachian Studies Center of NGCSU, the
on-site administrator of the weekly Dahlonega Appalachian Jam, and a Vice
President of the Southeastern Bluegrass Association. Joe has served many
years as the VP of the Bear on the Square Mountain Festival and is the
co-producer of Dahlonega's own Mountain Music and Medicine Show, which
recently began regular airing on Georgia Public Radio.
