The Band

 

Joe Miller:  Guitar-

Joe is by no means a rookie to the music world or Bluegrass, but is the newest member of the Rocky Top X-Press.  He joined the group briefly in 2008, and
then returned in May, 2011.  Joe, originally from Maryland, has played with many groups, both bluegrass and country.  He played banjo and guitar for Tim Graves & Cherokee, and has played bass for the Music City Playboys.  Joe plays guitar for the Rocky Top X-Press and provides a solid rhythm section as you will hear on New Bluegrass & Old Heartaches.

 


Bobby Osborne Jr. (Boj):  Bass-

Bobby (more commonly known as Boj) has been with the group since December 2003.  He joined the Osborne Brothers’ band when Sonny had rotator cuff surgery and was no longer able to play banjo.  He started out playing guitar and switched to the bass in May, 2011.  He also sings various parts in the vocal trio as well.  Boj has engineered and co-produced Bobby’s previous CD Memories as well as his latest CD New Bluegrass & Old Heartaches.  In addition to playing in the X-Press, Boj worked along side his father and cousin in Hyden, Kentucky for three years as Technical Coordinator.  Bobby has done work with Takeharu Kunimoto, a famous actor, storyteller, narrator of children movies, and accomplished bluegrass musician on both mandolin and shamisen, and his group the Last Frontier.  He plays bass and sings with the group from time to time, and also engineered their last record, Soy Sauce Blues.  Boj has a solo CD entitled In the Tradition.
