THE GRAVELY MOUNTAIN BOYS are a traditional bluegrass band based out of Western Montana with roots that go back to the cradle of the genre.   The Gravely’s high lonesome sound is anchored by veteran and leader Dick Darne, more affectionately known as Dr. Gravely.  Born and raised in the hills of Virginia, Dick was a member of several prominent bands during the 60’s and early 70’s around the DC area, a hot bed of roots music at the time.  Other members include Ron Snyder originally from Southeast Pennsylvania and former member of the Missoula based Mountain Poodle Band, Richard Darne of Missoula and Erin Snyder of Arlee. Signature vocal blends along with Richard’s and Erin’s instrumental work on banjo and fiddle comprise their unique sound.
