Clay Hess is a Grammy award winner who first burst upon the national Bluegrass music scene as the red-hot flat-picking guitarist with Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, with whom he toured for three years. With his amazing speed and tasty sense of syncopation, Hess has established himself as one of the top flat-pickers in the business. He brings along with him his son Brennan Hess on rhythm guitar and Irl Hees on bass.

Hess will be joined onstage by featured performers: Gary Adams, Donna Cunningham, Tami Davis, Carol McIntosh, the Paint Valley Jamboree band: Jim Bristley, Dan Cook, Don Elkins, and Dave Roberson, guests: Dean Imboden and Mike Sigler and our MC: Kenny Baum.

The Paint Valley Jamboree is presented by The Rockhold, Brown & Co. Bank.
