Heart of Gold: Mountain Heart performs on Jan. 6 at Infinity Music Hall & Bistro
![<span style="font-size: medium;">There are traditional bluegrass acts, and then there are bands like Mountain Heart. While it’s true that, since the late 1990s, when banjo player Barry Abernathy and fiddle player Jim Van Cleve started playing with singer Steve Gulley (who left in 2006), they’ve performed at the Grand Ole Opry more than 100 times. But the six-man group, who has shared stages over the years with John Fogerty, Travis Tritt, the Allman Brothers, Derek Trucks and Susan Tedeschi and many others from alternate musical worlds, have always seemed equally at home blowing on “Whipping Post” (as on their latest release, 2010’s <em>That Just Happened</em>) as they are on “Little Georgia Rose.” (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6skIIuXPVk" target="_blank">Give it a listen: the 7/8 sections float by with a breezy swagger, piano and fiddle do decent stand-in jobs for the Allman’s two-guitar attack, and Schilling does a mean white-boy blues holler</a>.)</span>](http://media.trb.com/media/thumbnails/story/2012-01/67125297-03095302.jpg "<span style="font-size: medium;\">There are traditional bluegrass acts, and then there are bands like Mountain Heart.
