Nashville critics give this album a thumbs up. The honesty and
clarity in Nathan’s voice shines through, making this album a must

future of Bluegrass music.”
NASHVILLE, TN -- February 26, 2013--Grand
Ole Opry star and multiple Grammy-winner Ralph Stanley has
signed to Moonstruck Management for management and booking.
Headed by Josh Trivett and Peter
Keiser, Moonstruck has a client roster that also includes
Russell Moore & IIIrd Tyme Out, Lonesome River Band, Bobby
Osborne & The Rocky Top X-Press and Sleepy Man Banjo Boys,
among other award-winning groups.
“Peter and I are honored to work with
the great Dr. Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys,”
says Trivett. “I grew up on Dr. Ralph’s music and have been
a huge fan since I was a young boy in Bristol, Tennessee.
There was just something magical about the sound and style
of his banjo playing and his lonesome mountain vocals that
captivated my heart and still lives in me today. His music
has been revered for over 65 years, and we have several
exciting plans to honor and celebrate the great music and
life of this international music legend."

Moonstruck Management focuses on
country and bluegrass music and incorporates artist
development, management, growth and booking into one
controlled business. Peter Keiser comes from a successful
and forward-thinking background as Vice President of
Marketing for the Cracker Barrel Old Country Stores
restaurant chain. During his tenure there, Keiser developed
a thriving music program that showcased artists through
co-branded products that were marketed and sold only at
Cracker Barrel.
Josh Trivett comes from outside the music
industry with a background of 13 years in professional
golf as a tour player, National Spokesperson and Senior
Vice President of Tour Operations at two successful golf
club companies. After his departure from the golf
industry, Trivett stepped into the music business by
managing and increasing the worldwide visibility of
bluegrass legend Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver.
Starting out in 1946 with his
older brother Carter, Ralph Stanley imparted the high,
forlorn mountain sound to the Stanley Brothers’
repertoire. After Carter’s death in 1966, Stanley
carried on both the name and tradition, enlisting into
the Clinch Mountain Boys such future bluegrass and
country stars as Larry Sparks, Ricky Skaggs, Keith
Whitley and Charlie Sizemore.
As a consequence of recording more
than 200 albums and performing tens of thousands of
shows around the world, Stanley was already an icon when
the Coen Brothers and T-Bone Burnett spotlighted him in
the O Brother, Where Art Thou? movie and
soundtrack album—an album that has now sold more than
seven million copies. His crucial part in the album
earned him Best Male Country Vocal Performance and Album
of the Year Grammys. He subsequently shared a Best
Bluegrass Album Grammy with the Clinch Mountain Boys and
Jim Lauderdale. Stanley was inducted into the Grand Ole
Opry in 2000, the first new member of the 21st Century.
He holds an honorary doctorate in
music from Lincoln Memorial University.

privilege for me to record with Nathan Stanley who is
definitely on his way to becoming just that - a true legend. Nathan has got the

talented musician with a great sense of style and superb vocal talent. Nathan -
thanks for allowing me to record with you. It was an honor."
-- Gene Watson

come."
