Denis LePage and Station Road
a real treat for bluegrass fans
Anyone interested in some
top-notch foot stomping and
hand clapping bluegrass
music, who couldn't make it
to the Manor Hotel in
Wingham last weekend,
missed a real treat. On stage
from Thursday to Saturday
night was one of Canada's
best bands in the business,
Denis LePage and Station
Road.
The award-winning four. -
piece band, madeup of Denis
. . "
LePage, banjo; Bill Hill,
guitar and mandolin; Paul
Howell, base fiddle and
vocals, and Roly LaPierre,
fiddle and guitar, put on a
performance of expertice
and flair that was enough to
tickle the fancy of any
bluegrass enthusiast.
Unfortunately, Thursday
evening's hotel patrons, who
were too busy howling across
tables, during presentations
of the group's recorded tunes
BANJO PLAYER—Denis LePage, the banjo player
with Station road, displayed top-notch talent last
weekend. Denti, who has recorded two of his own
albums, joined Station Road about two years ago.

like, 'You Don't Need to
Move a Mountain', and more
familiar hits such as, 'Rocky
Top', and 'Foggy Mountain
Breakdown', pere obviously
not foot stomping types.
But the crowd's lack of
appreciation didn't affect the
group's performance or con-
fidence. Denis explained the
problem frequently occurs
because hotel audiences are
not there necessarily to
listen to bluegrass. He
suggested that if hotel
managers advertised what
type of musk was going to be
played on a given night, only
those who enjoyed that kind
of music would show up.
Nevertheless, the group
managed to solve, the
problem ,by joking with the
crowd and playing a number
of popular songs.

LePage and Station Road,
bars are not the only outlet
for their music. The bandus

years. Altogether the group
has four albums to its credit,
two by banjo player Denis
LePage and two by the entire
band. The group's debut
album, 'Denis LePage and
Station Road', was selected
by the Canadian Bluegrass
Review as album of the year
for 1979.
Denis explained that the
second album, 'Waiting At
the Cowboy Arms Hotel',
was recorded in January in
Nashville and should be out
in three to four weeks.
In addition to album
awards, individual group
members have been
recognized for their abilities.
At the annual bluegrass
award presentation held in
Toronto, six other prizes.
• were handed to the group.
Roly'LaPierre won for best
fiddle, Bill. Hill for best lead
guitar and lead vocal, and
Denis LePage for best banjo.
The group also won best
vocal group, for which the
bassist, tenor singer Paul
Howell, deserves much of
the credit, and best blue-
grass, music.
With all this behind Denis
LePage and Station Road,
where is the'. group • going
from here? Denis explained
they all just want to continue
playing; making a name for
themselves and tbeir type of
music. He also hopes that
another album can be
arranged for next year.
