Waldron’s current ensemble includes players who are local to each other. “We all live within an hour of each other ... I enjoy the things that we’ve been doing,” he said.

This edition of The New Shades of Grass includes mandolinist Mark Maggiolo, Kevin Roop on banjo, Mark Clifton on the resonator guitar and bassist Larry Kirk

While he has taken his share of chances in life, Cliff Waldron has found that there is room in his life for the devotion he has for his personal beliefs and bluegrass music.
