About Me


Alan Sibley is a multi-talented singer/musician who traveled and played extensively with The Legendary Sullivan Family from 2001-2005. Alan has also played with Larry Wallace (a ten year banjo veteran of Jimmy Martin's Sunny Mountain Boys) as well as Jerry and Tammy Sullivan (one of the leading bluegrass gospel groups in the world). Alan has also had the pleasure of performing on stage with such musical greats as Charlie Louvin, Joe Isaacs, Jimmy Martin, Jim Brock, James Monroe, Bill and Laurie Sky, Vicki Young, Little Roy Lewis, Carl Jackson, Larry Cordle, Jerry Sally, Jimmy Williams, and Leroy Troy. Alan has appeared with the Sullivan Family on RFD-TV's Cumberland Highlanders Show, Kentucky Educational Television (shown nationally), and with the Larry Wallace Band and Ruby Jane Smith on the CBS Evening News with Bob Schieffer.
The compact disc, Shadow of the Mountain, is a collection of original songs written by Alan Sibley , Dillon Sullivan, and Bill Tennyson along with old fashioned gospel standards. Alan provides lead vocals as well as banjo, mandolin, fiddle, and guitar. The fine harmony vocals and bass playing are provided by Bill Tennyson. The liner notes were written by Jerry Sullivan.
Shadow of the Mountain is filled with superb vocal harmonies on duets, trios, and quartets. Musical arrangements feature tight twin fiddling, Merle Travis and Chet Atkins finger-style guitar, solid Scruggs/melodic style banjo, and Bill Monroe and Jesse McReynolds style mandolin.

Band Website: www.alansibley.net
Band Members: Alan Sibley - Mandolin, Guitar, Fiddle and Vocals; J.R. Willis - Banjo and Vocals; Bo Collier - Guitar and Vocals; Ruth Hammons - Bass and Vocals
Influences: The Bluegrass Gospel Music of the Sullivan Family (Enoch Sullivan, Margie Sullivan, Emmett Sullivan, Jerry Sullivan, Joe Stuart, & James Phillips) has probably been the single most important, followed closely by the harmonies of Ira and Charlie Louvin. Carl Sauceman and the Green Valley Boys along with the Sullivan Family have done more for Bluegrass Music in Mississippi than anyone else out there, so they would be high on my list. Others include Ralph & Carter Stanley, the Carter Family, Eddie & Martha Adcock, John Duffey, Jimmy Martin, Sonny & Bobby Osborne, Jim & Jesse McReynolds, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs, Bill Monroe, Red Allen & Frank Wakefield, Carl Story, the Lewis Family, Don Reno & Red Smiley, Rual Yarbrough, Bud Rose, Red Rector, Carl Jackson, Lethal Jackson, Tammy Sullivan, Jim Brock, Russell Burton, Bill Tennyson, Caleb Dennis, Larry Wallace, & Lyle Meador.
Sounds Like: Traditional Bluegrass & Old Time Gospel Music in style of The Sullivan Family, Louvin Brothers, and Bill Monroe.
