Darren Beachley & The Maryland Line:
A bluegrass band that is blessed with talent and experience, Darren Beachley & The Maryland Line hails from Frederick County, Maryland. The band consists of Darren Beachley, Dave Propst, Kip Martin, Mike Munford, and Patrick McAvinue, all working together to bring incredible harmonies and jaw dropping instrumentation. At the 2004 Washington Area Music Awards, the group was nominated for six Wammies - Best Vocalist, Best Duo/Group, best Recording, Best Gospel/Inspirational Duo/Group, Best Debut Recording, and Best Instrumentalist! The Maryland Line was formed with influences of Jimmy Martin, The Country Gentlemen, The Osbornes, and The Seldom Scene.
Darren Beachley brings to the band his hot guitar and one of the clearest and richest high lead and tenor voices in Bluegrass Music today. He began his professional music career in 1988 and experienced his first venture onto the charts in 1990 during his time with South Central Bluegrass. Darren has been a member of, or performed with, Tony Rice, Bill Harrell, The Travelers, The Seldom Scene, and the US Navy’s Country Current.
Dave Propst handles the mandolin work, gaining twenty years stage experience with up-and-coming bands. He is well-known for driving mandolin chops and expert leads as well as strong tenor vocals and pleasing lead and baritone vocals. Dave's previous work includes stints with Paul Adkins, Leon Morris, The Fastest Grass Alive, and Shenandoah Blue.
Kip Martin brings to the band his talents and 1938 Kay bass. When not touring with the band he is a sought after session musician with such notables as Auldridge, Bennett, and Gaudreau. He has toured with legends Martin, Messina, Wells, J.D., and Nitty Gritty.
Mike Munford rounds out the band with expert banjo playing acquired from thirty years experience with Lynn Morris, Tony Rice Unit, The Rice Brothers, Sam Bush, and Peter Rowan. His superb style can be heard on Peter Rowan’s Grammy Nominated “Bluegrass Boy.” Most recently, Mike has graced the stage with The Mark Newton Band.
It was in Elementary School, at the age of seven, when Patrick McAvinue's best buddy introduced him to the fine art of fiddling. The three years he was classically trained during school helped him for when at the age of ten, Amy Hopkins, who was a Peabody Institute student, taught him how to play the fiddle - bluegrass style. When Patrick was 12, he took lessons from Troy Engle (Former IBMA Nominee). In 2003, he was honored with the title of Delaware State Fiddling Champion. In addition to playing the fiddle, Patrick also sings lead and harmony vocals. At just 16 years old Patrick has a very bright future ahead.

Directions to the RiverHouse Concert
w/ Darren Beachley & the Maryland Line
The Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship is located at 11661 Harpers Ferry Road, VA (Rt. 671, just minutes from Harpers Ferry, WV). The sign for the Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship is small and easy to drive by at 55mph, so watch carefully for it as you drive down Harpers Ferry Road (Rt. 671) to the center.
If you'll be driving north on Harpers Ferry Road (Rt. 671) from Rt. 9 you will know you're close to the Blue Ridge Center when you see the Neersville Fire & Rescue on your right. The Blue Ridge Center is the next left after the firehouse.
If you'll be coming from the other direction and turning onto Harpers Ferry Road (Rt. 671) from Rt. 340, you can watch your odometer, because the Center is just two miles from the intersection of Rt. 340 and Harpers Ferry Road where the Tri-State gas station is on Rt. 340. Once you've gone two miles on Harpers Ferry Road, turn right at the sign (onto a gravel lane) into the center.
Once you turn onto the gravel lane for the center, follow the lane to the River House Concert parking areas that will be designated and are a short walk from the barn where the concert and dinner will be held. Handicap parking is located at the barn. All other parking is at the areas leading up to the barn. If you'd like to drop something off and then go park, please feel free to drive up to the barn, drop off your item, and drive back to the parking area.
The Blue Ridge Center for Environmental Stewardship is a place where farming, nature, and history converge to show the connections between people and the natural world. You're welcome to visit, volunteer, or attend one of the public programs held there. For more information about the center, check out www.blueridgecenter.org; email info@...; or call 540-668-7640.
In case you have any problem getting there, call the Blue Ridge Center at 540-668-7640 or try Cheryl's cell at 304-702-0554. Call if you need to and we'll help get you on your way!
