Don DePoy's Details

I am an accomplished
bluegrass banjo and guitar player and has appeared as a featured performer at
the Philadelphia Folk Festival as well as appeared on numerous recordings and
performed throughout the

United States

and abroad. In 2005, along with his parents
Carl and Euva DePoy, Don was inducted into the Old Time Country Music Hall of Fame.
He currently performs with Me & Martha, that is Martha Hills and Don DePoy, who approach their music making with passion and unabashed
enthusiasm. Their stage rapport with
each other and the excitement brought to every song are captivating as they
take their listeners on a musical journey. For the most part the music played is anywhere from 30 to 300 years old
and often tell about the many untold stories of life. Some songs are peppy and
happy whiles others tell of human weakness and tragedy. Their music represents songs from the
Appalachian regions, folk, country and bluegrass standards, roots music from
rural

America

and an occasional sea shanty. The selections and simple arrangements of
the material compel the audience to become absorbed in the music as each story
unfolds. Me & Martha interlaces patterns of musical panache with subtle
nuances to provide a glimpse into the world of the music makers.

Don was the executive producer for Mainely Bluegrass, a 26-part TV series
airing over public television in New England.
He holds a Ph.D. in Popular Culture and American Music writes on the subject of
bluegrass music and is on faculty at Husson College’s New England School of Communications.
