Celebrating the 77th Anniversary of The Clinch Mountain Boys
2023 marks the 77th Anniversary of The Clinch Mountain Boys. We are excited and pleased to carry on the Clinch Mountain style of music. Ralph II began working professionally for his father in the year of 1995 and has carried The Clinch Mountain Boys on since, as well as fronting the first Clinch Mountain Boys group after the passing of his father, Ralph Edmond Stanley.
Grammy Award-winning artist Ralph Stanley II and the Clinch Mountain Boys are touring nationwide and internationally. They have also been working hard in the studio, releasing a #1 hit, 'Back to Virginia.'
With seven #1 singles in his career, R2 is in heavy radio rotation nationwide and on Bluegrass Junction, World Wide Bluegrass, iHeart Radio, and Sirius XM.
The band includes Stanley Efaw on fiddle, mandolin, and vocals; Landon Fitzpatrick on banjo and vocals; Randall Hibbitts on the upright bass and vocals; Caleb Shifflett on guitar and vocals; and Ralph Stanley II on the guitar and lead vocals. This band configuration brings a lot of talent, energy, and humor to the stage as they perform old-time favorites, bluegrass hits, and new original material.
Ralph II has had two Grammy nominations on previous albums he recorded with Rebel Records. In 2002, he earned his first Grammy along with his father, Dr. Ralph Stanley, for their collaboration with Jim Lauderdale on ‘Lost in the Lonesome Pines.’ Ralph II has proven to be an accomplished songwriter with six solo albums and the highly acclaimed duet album with his father titled ‘Side by Side.’
