Known for their tight harmonies and instrumental skills Titan Valley has been voted Best Bluegrass Band by the Tucson Area Music Awards, won the prestigious “Best Band” title at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival  and performed for appreciative crowds at festivals, concerts and both private and corporate events. The band currently consists of Gary Kuitert (mandolin), Earl Edmonson (guitar), Ed Davenport (bass),  Andy McCune (banjo) and Tom Rhodes (fiddle).                                                      
History, the regular gigs
: After their formation the band became a staple at the Bar M Cattle Company.   Moving from there to Al Smith’s Pub, the guys played for 7 years as a regular Wednesday night band.  During this period the band was making a name for itself by doing festivals, jam sessions, and shows for various organizations. In 1995 the band moved to Sunday nights at Li’l Abner’s Steak House and has been there ever since. Titan Valley has performed at the Tucson Bluegrass Festival, Four Corners Bluegrass Festival,  Sonoita Bluegrass Festival, Trail dust Town Cowboy Poetry Festival, Old Tucson, Mount Lemon Bluegrass Festival, Ranching Heritage Festival, Bisbee Opera House, Helldorado Days, Prescott Bluegrass Festival, Tucson Folk Festival, Tucson Bluegrass Festival  and more private parties at ranches and homes than you can shake a stick at.
