Thanks for stopping by the official site of Alan Tompkins, Dallas-based bluegrass banjo player, upright bass player, singer, founder of the Bluegrass Heritage Foundation, and host of the Bluegrass Heritage Radio Show. A native of the farming and coal mining country of western Kentucky, Alan grew up steeped in the sounds of classic country, Southern gospel, and bluegrass music. It was a thrill for him to record his new album, No Part of Nothin'. The cast is amazing, with dozens of IBMA and GRAMMY® award wins and nominations among them. Get your copy of No Part of Nothin' today and enjoy the ride!
"No Part of Nothin’ features great traditional music. From the Bill Monroe/Hank Williams penned tune I’m Blue, I’m Lonesome, to traditional pieces like Angelina Baker and More Pretty Girls Than One, Tompkins’s vocals and fine musicianship clearly shine throughout. He is also joined by a multiple-award winning group of musicians, including Sam Bush, Ron Stewart, Kenny and Amanda Smith, Greg Cahill, and Texas country artist Deryl Dodd.” - John Goad, Bluegrass Today
