Maple Ridge began in 2018 when several musicians who had enjoyed
jamming together for many years decided to form a bluegrass band. The
group enjoys playing traditional bluegrass as well as old-time and
fiddle tunes. They are influenced by such bluegrass greats as the
Stanley Brothers, Flatt and Scruggs, the Carter Family, Ola Belle Reid,
Doc Watson, Elizabeth Cotton and others. Band members have their roots
in Eau Claire, Chippewa Falls, and Menomonie.
