The award winning original roots music group Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising continues to stack up awards and accolades while performing their high-energy shows throughout the West. Awards include guitar player Dennis Nelson being named 2008 Roots Music Association Bluegrass Songwriter of the Year and banjo player Tom Tower winning the $10,000 prize in the 2010 City Love Music Contest. The band currently holds the title of the International Music & Entertainment Association 2015 Bluegrass Group of the Year And in October 2016 we continued our tradition of bringing only the best to our fans by bringing home the International Music and Entertainment Associations Award for 2016 Bluegrass Song of the Year with our summer single "Let Her Roll"!!
With five CD's in radio rotation, the band is known far and wide for their songwriting abilities and high energy entertainment style. In the words of Randy Shelton of Nevada's "Silver State String Buster" magazine, "Kathy Boyd looks to be 100 lbs soaking wet but that little gal can knock a song right out of the park".
In 2014, "Spending Every Christmas With You" debuted as the #1 CD downloaded for holiday airplay for the second year and all ten songs immediately took up position on the Top 50 downloaded songs. The recording was nominated as the IMEA's 2014 Holiday Album of the Year and the song "I'll Be Home for Christmas (in the State of Oregon)" brought home the IMEA Holiday Song of the Year Award. Radio stations around the world continue to clamor for this original music that somehow feels as though it's been a part of our holiday culture for decades - indicating that Kathy Boyd & Phoenix Rising's "Spending Every Christmas With You" is well on its way to being a holiday classic. A television special featuring songs from this recording is currently in production.
Radio stations continue to line up to interview this personable group whose songwriting especially that of member Tim Crosby has been compared to legends such as Waylon Jennings, Woody Guthrie and Bruce Springsteen.
"After ten years together we definitely have our own unique sound." states KBPR band leader Kathy Boyd, "We've now reached a spot where we are so comfortable with who we are and what we do that it's allowing us to stretch in new and more complex musical directions."
"Audience response to all of our music continues to be enthusiastic, which in turn makes us better performers. It's a huge circle of excitement and love that benefits everyone!"
