The group was founded in early 2008 by vocalist and fiddle player Glen Harrell. Volume Five includes the talents of Harry Clark (mandolin and Vocals), Chris Williamson (bass and vocals), Patton Wages (banjo and vocals,) and Colby Laney (guitar and vocals) These five musicians together truly blend into a band with staying power.
“When I put this group together, I knew the style of music I wanted us to play and the goals I wanted to achieve,” said Harrell. “It was just a matter of finding the right guys who wanted to create their own identity in the industry. I didn’t just want us to be another band that moves onto the scene and is gone in a few years, but one that would have a unique sound that players and listeners would remember for many years to come – one that sounded like no other band in the business.”
Volume Five had great success with their previous releases including their first, Down In a Cell and their second release, Children of the Mountains, which garnered the group their first #1 song, “Anywhere is Home Again.” With their third album, Run, they achieved significant success in bluegrass charts.
