5.0 out of 5 stars An Astonishing Debut!, February 9, 2002

Last summer I attended a bluegrass festival in Lincoln, NE to hear the headliner, the Del McCoury Band. While they were terrific, I was completely blown away by the Grasshoppers! This is an amazingly talented group of musicians with solid chops and tight vocal harmonies. Working with a single vocal mic, the band traded licks and vocals like a finely tuned engine. Also, like the Del McCoury Band, the Grasshoppers are a family unit: there's dad (Glen Garret) on guitar, his son (Jeremy Garret) on fiddle, the son's wife (Honi Glenn) on upright bass, and his longtime friend (Randy Glenn) on banjo. The twelve originals on their debut were produced by labelmate Dan Tyminski (of Union Station and "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" fame) and are every bit as good on record as their live shows. This is a bluegrass band to keep an eye on. I can't wait until their next album! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

A nice solid, bouncily melodic bluegrass set, with heavy country leanings. Lead singer Honi Glenn has a nice light snarl that places her in the general vicinity of Claire Lynch and Rhonda Vincent... The backing band, including several of her family members, is rock solid, too, with Dan Tyminski dropping in and out of several tracks. Nice stuff!

4.0 out of 5 stars But it wasn't their debut!, August 5, 2005

I don't have their listed album, but I have their 1997 cd "All Dressed Up and Someplace to Go" which I bought from them when they won the Pizza Hut competition at IBMA in 1998. They were hot then, and I'm sure continued so.

But Honi now has her own band, "Honi Deaton and Dream." Give them a listen, too.
