Darlene & Reflections of Bluegrass

Darlene & Reflections of Bluegrass, an energetic group based out of Columbia South Carolina, incorporates the classic sound of yesterday's country with the contemporary sound of today's Bluegrass. Their unique styling blend along with their exceptional talents places this group into a league of their own.

Influenced by the likes of Bluegrass legends Bill Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, J.D. Crowe and more recent Ricky Skaggs, Alison Krauss, Rhonda Vincent, among others. Darlene & Reflections of Bluegrass are planting their unique blend of bluegrass and growing fans with every performance along the way.

The title of the group's current project, "Ain't Love A Good Thing" speaks as a personal message for the five members of the vibrant group, all of whom share the desire to impart the love of the music they have in their hearts to the enjoyment of the listener.

Their stage presence is pure enjoyment! Darlene Champagne, with her soulful lead, harmony vocals, and rhythm guitar playing also adding her songwriting skills to the group dynamics.
