"The Bullas" Friday, October 10, 1997, 7:30 p.m. THE BULLAS are a fine entertainment choice for the 90’s. Soulful country, high energy bluegrass, fast, fancy fiddling, close, blood harmony, and heart-felt gospel are all part of THE BULLAS’ professional, yet personable show. Veteran entertainers of the fair, festival, and concert series market, this family group of Mom Carol, Dad Brad, Son Luke, and Daughter Jennie, and surprise appearances by smaller siblings, have delighted babies to grandparents, farmers to executives. Brad’s North Carolina bluegrass roots flavor the group’s music; his smooth guitar work carries The Bullas’ stylistic variations. Carol’s solid bass playing lays the rhythmic foundation for The Bullas’ acoustic approach. The youngsters take center stage with their prize-winning fiddling talent.
