June 7, 2009 -- Berachah Valley spent the evening in the charming town of Potsdam, Ohio. The folks there were so very kind to us. Your generosity was overwhelming. Thank you for a memorable evening.
March 4, 2009 -- It has been gray, white and winter all around, however, Berachah contiunes to warm others through music and song.
Recently, we had the pleasure of traveling to Mansfield,Ohio. We played an event which hosted eight other bands. The snowy weather did not impact the 300 folks in attendance.
We had the good fortune of playing for our local Masonic Lodge in Franklin,Ohio. The evening helped to restock the local food pantry.
Traveling to cities and towns such as Springfield, Dayton, Middletown, Mansfield, Potsdam, West Liberty, Kentucky, Hamilton, West Carrolton, Connersville, Indaina, New Paris, Covington, Waynesville, Oxford, Troy, South Lebanon, and beyond allows us to minister through song to folks whose paths may never have crossed ours.
Underneath all we have, we are human. Reaching out to help one another, unites us all. It is a blessing for us to reach out to others. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to make a difference.
We have the honor of being invited back to The Old Mill Bluegrass Festival in West Liberty, Kentucky, July 11th, 2009. Last year, was an amazing event. Berachah was blessed to have the time slot prior to Blue Highway and Paul Williams and The Victory Trio. Looking over our shoulders to watch our heros, watch us was an incredible rush. Both groups were very complimentary. We will never forget the kind words, the gestures, and even the banjo player for Blue Highway coming on stage playing "Snowbird" as we finished up.
Singing in a land where our heritage runs as deep as a never ending well, reaches our inner soul. Our families, group and friends are woven together like a tapestry...it is a treasure to behold.
We are certainly blessed.
February 4, 2009 -- Berachah Valley is looking forward to traveling to Connersville, Indiana this Friday to sing for The Bluegrass Music Association.

December 1, 2008 -- Sometimes you have to stop and think for a moment about what truly matters in life. It doesn't take us long to realize that the most valuable thing we have are the people in our lives and the time we spend together. Today our hearts are full to overflowing because of time spent this Thanksgiving weekend with some very important people. We want to extend our deepest gratitude to Pete Stamper, Vester Parker and the rest of Michelle's extended family in and around Berea Kentucky. You all gave of yourselves so selflessly to make our lives richer. Words alone cannot express the extent to which you leant meaning and depth to our histories. There is no way to put value on the connections that were re-established. We look forward to a warmer, closer future in which we maintain these renewed ties to our past, with reverence and honor. Thank you Mike, Donnie, Steve, and all the rest for all you did to make our time worth more than gold. Until we see you again, take good care of each other. "God, be merciful. Bind us together in love and let this circle remain unbroken."
November 28, 2008 -- Well folks we have just played the lobby in the warm and beautiful country inns and suites in berea kentucky. We drew a crowd of music lovers from Hillsboro Ohio. We are on our way to dinner now. We will post more directly.
We have a demo CD available. It's the cheapest way to take us all home with you (because we tend to eat a lot). They are available for "whatever you can afford", or $5.00, whichever comes first. Just catch us any time we are out of the house, playing music somewhere and ask for one. Of course, donations are accepted (...did we mention the bass player's appetite?).

Just for fun, take a look at what Wikipedia has to say about Bluegrass Music.
Our good friend Cecil Day, pastor of Lighthouse Baptist Church, would like to invite everyone to worship with them.
