Long-time bluegrassers may remember Cornerstone, the early-90s upstate New York band that introduced hot songwriter (and now bandleader) Chris Stuart. Turns out he wasnt the only talent there, though its taken fellow alumnus (and now Franklin resident) Pam Daley a bit longer to make her mark. Produced by the multitalented Keith Little, Daleys solo debut Someone Like You was three years in the makingand well worth the wait. Original songs by Daley and colleague Robert Gateley are at the fore, and theyre meaningful, memorable and delivered well by an all-star cast, many of whose membersincluding Gateley, underappreciated singer Patty Mitchell, busy banjo boy Ned Luberecki, guitar phenom David Grier and IBMA Dobro Player of the Year Rob Ickeswill be taking the stage to celebrate the discs appearance.
