Here & There Column 9-4-12


 Joshua Following Family Tradition

  Four-year-old Joshua Albert has been performing with the Rivers Edge Band since he was three and this up and coming young talent was warmly received August 18 at the Grahamsville Little World's Fair.
  This popular country western band played two performances at the fair just prior to and following the Legion Fireworks display on Saturday evening. 
  Rivers Edge calls it like it is when they say "a country band we are," and they perform both original, old and new country music.
  This band is highly respected and has a large following. 
  They have been performing for some 15 plus years.
  Rivers Edge has been the opening act for Stephanie Bently and Ray Price and also has been on the venue with Lonestar, Trace Atkins and Ray Price. Additionally they also have played along with Merle Haggard, Willie Nelson and Ray Price in their "The Best of the Breed" concert several years ago at Bethel Woods.
  Traveling throughout the Northeast Rivers Edge has entertained at many events and various organizations. They have played at the Grahamsville Fair for approximately 10 years.
  Young Joshua is the grandson of Rivers Edge Bass player Tony "Dance" Albert  who also is the band's sound engineer and technician. Tony sings lead vocals and is from a family of musicians......starting out playing in the band called Country Kut-Ups and as he grew older played with his mother and uncle.
  Proud parents of this young musician are Joshua and Amanda Albert.
  Joshua is certainly following family and his grandfathers tradition.
