Mountain Standard Time

Mountain Standard Time is gearing up for their debut Nederland springtime performance this Friday Mar. 28th at the Shining Star Cafe. The groups first seeds were sewn in May '07 when Phillip Dyer (guitar/mandolin) and Adam Pause (banjo) end up around a campfire in the mountains. The chemistry between the musicians sparked an immediate ruckus, now the band has taken form and is ready to take flight. MST plays a balanced mix of origionals, and traditional bluegrass standards. The origional music is hard to classifly into one genre, but the insturmentation lends itself toward the blugrass form. "Its not your traditional bluegrass", explains Adam," the stuff we are writing is far from the standard G-C-D progresstions. We are consistantly exploring new horizions." The band is rounded off by Curly Collins on the basss and Stanton Sutton on guitar and mandolin. Stanton has been seen all over New England and the Front Range of colorado performing on a plethroa of instruments put together with his imfamous loop station. His recent foray into the more 'traditional' realm has added a futuristic aesthetic to this standard form.
The good vibe surrounds MST and their authentic excitment is apparent. This chemistry provides concert-goers an environment to dance and have a good time. As Phillip elaborates, " So here I am playing with Adam and our buddies Stanton and Curly, and there's no place I'd rather be."....... - The Mountain Ear
