Country music fans remember Donna Ulisse from her time as a traditional country artist on Atlantic Records in the 1990's with national television appearances on 'Hee Haw', NBC's 'Hot Country Nights', 'Nashville Now' and 'Crook and Chase. Bluegrass fans are getting to know her for her songwriter driven brand of bluegrass, often called 'bluegrass without borders' after enthusiastically receiving her 2007 release 'When I Look Back' as well as her current release 'Walk This Mountain Down', both produced by guitarist Keith Sewell and both self-penned collections of songs. 'Walk This Mountain Down' spent two months in the Top 40 of the Americana chart this year peaking at No 29.
The title track also just entered the Bluegrass Unlimited chart for the month of May and one of the tracks, "I Lied" was No 1 on the SiriusXM bluegrass chart in mid-April. Ulisse's show with her band The Poor Mountain Boys offers the audience a unique insight into the stories behind many of the songs she has written as well as some great picking.
