Goldwing Express
 At the God and Country Theatre, 1840 W. Highway 76.
Bluegrass fans recognize Goldwing Express as one of America's leading bluegrass ensembles. Known also as "Three Indians and the Little White Man," the group hails from Okmulgee, Oklahoma, and is made up of three young men who are half Creek Indian and their father, Bob Baldridge. Brothers Paul, Steven, and Shawn play banjo, guitar and bow fiddle. Dad Bob plays the upright bass and fiddle and contributes a good deal of humor.
The group won the 2003 Midwest division award for Entertaining Bluegrass Band of the Year presented by the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America and have been nominated for the SPBGMA national award in the same category. Goldwing Express has recorded 11 CD's.
They play classic country, bluegrass and gospel music the way it's supposed to be played. Fans say that for those who truly love bluegrass music, Goldwing Express is not to be missed.
You can catch them doing shows for the 2008 season, all at 8 pm, April 7 through December 11, 2008. (visit their website and click on About Us & Find Out About Her for a touching tribute to their mother and a beautiful sample of "I'm Gonna Live Forever")
