Brush Arbor

Southern California bluegrass/Christian band. After winning a talent contest in San Diego in 1972, where one of the judges was a producer for Capitol Records, they recorded a version of "Proud Mary" which became a regional hit. In 1974, they won Vocal Group of the Year at the Country Music Awards. After some line up changes in 1975, the band went on to record for the Monument, Word, Myrrh, Light and Benson labels. Brush Arbor continued performing until 1999 but then went on hiatus. Jim Rice and Mike Wilson reformed the band releasing "Fog In The Morning" in 2015 and "More Banjo Please" in 2017.
