Vernon McIntyre |
Vernon McIntyre’s professional career began in age 15 as the banjo player for Earl Taylor and the Stoney Mountain Boys. Vernon’s dad, stage name Boatwhistle, played bass with the band. When Walt Hensley, the band’s banjo player gave his two-week notice, it opened the door for Vernon to join the band. The rest, as they say, is history. ![]() Vernon McIntyre singing at Fibonacci Brewery 2018. Photo by Ron Rack. |
In the late 1970’s Vernon decided to shift from his banjo player position and to assume the lead singer/emcee position in the band. During his stint as banjo player for the Sunny Mountain Boys, Vernon learned Jimmy Martin’s impeccable guitar style. Today, Vernon’s guitar work drives the Appalachian Grass sound and his entertaining emcee work complements the band’s energetic stage presence. ![]() Vernon McIntyre singing at Fibonacci Brewery 2018.
