Masters of Bluegrass
music, The Lilly Brothers, Everett and Bea, and
Don Stover were pioneers in bringing
professionally performed southern Appalachian music to
the upper northeastern region of the United States.
Originating from Clear
Creek, a community near Beckley, West Virginia, Everett
and Bea began their career by singing in churches and at
area shows. Everett toured with Flatt & Scruggs in the
early 1950s, participating in fourteen influential
recordings that included classic duets with Lester Flatt. |

The Lilly
Brothers had become the first Bluegrass act to take
their music north when they relocated to the Boston
area, performing at the popular Hillbilly Ranch playing
an amazing sixteen-year gig, seven nights a week, fifty
weeks a year! The Lilly Brothers were also the first Bluegrass band to do a professional
tour of Japan and, on their next tour, invited
Bill Monroe and the Bluegrass Boys to come along.
On October 17, 2002,
The Lilly Brothers & Don Stover proudly became the 20th Inductees
into the International Bluegrass Music Association's Hall of Honor, the
highest honor that Bluegrass can bestow.
