Three Wise GRASCALS Share A Smile With GAC-TV Show Host Suzanne Alexander
Fun-filled On The Streets Segment Premieres Tuesday, August 2
Nashville, TN (August 1, 2011) -- The images of the "three wise monkeys" are known the world over - just like the super-hot pickin', six-member Bluegrass band, The Grascals. On a rare break in touring, The Grascals made a quick trip home to Tennessee, and three of the group's members stopped by the GAC-TV studios to visit with On The Streets host, Suzanne Alexander.
"It was a blast," says The Grascals' Jamie Johnson. "She's good people," adds Terry Smith. Terry Eldredge ... well, he didn't have much to say. The fun-filled visit touched on the joys and rigors of touring, and the band's two current CDs: THE GRASCALS & FRIENDS - Country Classics With A Bluegrass Spin and DANCE TIL YOUR STOCKINGS ARE HOT AND RAVELIN' - A Tribute To The Music Of The Andy Griffith Show.
