Monroe Bridge band members have been playing music together at shows, festivals, and fairs throughout the Pacific Northwest. They share a deep love of the traditional bluegrass music of Flatt & Scruggs, the Stanley Brothers and, of course, Monroe. Individually, the members are experienced musicians and have played bluegrass and country music in bands throughout the land before coming together in the Inland Northwest in 2018. Today they perform a finely honed blend of traditional, contemporary, and original bluegrass, country and gospel music. With tight vocal harmony and dynamic instrumentals, we think you’re sure to love this band. Whether you’re young, old, or in between, you’ll have a great time listening to Monroe Bridge! Noel Taggart on mandolin has gained a reputation as one of the finest lead vocalists around. Kent & Karen Riggs, on guitar and singing lead and harmony vocals, have played country and bluegrass music in venues throughout the Southwest. Jean Ballhorn on fiddle is a veteran of the Colorado bluegrass scene and has performed and recorded with Charles Sawtelle, Open Road, Camptown and many others. Scott Brownlee started bluegrassing in the Colorado band Rufus Krisp, who appeared/toured all over the country with Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, John Prine, and many others. In Spokane, he and wife Pamela were 10 year members of the band Northern Cross and operated Rockin’ B Ranch.
