After a successful show on Halloween, 2009 at Beynon's pub on Lake Sheridan, PA they decided to try and make a go of it. After adding some fantastic musicians to their line-up and honing in thier style, they started booking regularly at some of the local watering holes. Their unique style of "blacklung bluegrass" is enjoyed by bluegrass purists, blue collar folks, and those who just like tap their foot to what the Rounders are laying down.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;font-size:130%;" >Website: <a href="http://www.coaltownrounders.com/">www.coaltownrounders.com</a></span><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);font-size:130%;" >George Wesley Band 6:30 – 8:00 pm</span><span style="font-size:130%;"><br /></span><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bIVH667HQxY/S9ULUA2DNsI/AAAAAAAAAA8/XmrGBKk4Lo4/s1600/George+Wesley+Band.jpg"><img style="cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bIVH667HQxY/S9ULUA2DNsI/AAAAAAAAAA8/XmrGBKk4Lo4/s400/George+Wesley+Band.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5464286161335957186" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Dipped in Rock and Caribbean influences, galvanized by lightning guitar and keyboard skills, expanded upon with MIDI guitar synth and live loops and forged with a uniquely compelling voice.
