On May 17th and 18th, 2008, The Ozark Alliance competed in the National Single Mic Championship hosted by Silver Dollar City in Branson, Missouri. The competition was held in the incredible setting of the Opera House at Silver Dollar City with capacity audiences of approximately 1,000 each day. Out of a field of 13 participating bands, we were honored and thrilled to be awarded 1st place! We will be featured in full-page ads in upcoming issues of both Bluegrass Unlimited and Bluegrass Now magazines. We had a wonderful time and would like to thank and congratulate Silver Dollar City for sponsoring such a well-organized and entertaining event. Click here to check us out on their website:

Hi! Welcome to our website. It is a "work in progress" (and probably will be for a while), but that is the way it goes when you choose to maintain your own website. Making time to update and add to this site can be challenging when you throw it in with the time we spend traveling and performing, trying to practice plenty to keep our music fresh, and of course, just conducting daily life! You can watch as we design and make changes to our site. We hope you enjoy what you find and that the information available here will not only answer questions you may have about our band, but will also increase your interest in our music. As we often say in our live shows, it wouldn't do us much good to get out and pick if no one came to listen! So look around -- we hope you visit our site often.

The Ozark Alliance is a Bluegrass band from Salem, Missouri (home of The Dillards). We are also the Vaughn family -- Alex, Jenny, Allison, Robin, & Dennis. Alex, age 17, plays guitar & mandolin and sings lead, tenor, & baritone. Jenny, age 15, plays fiddle & mandolin and also sings lead, tenor, & baritone. Robin (the mom) plays upright acoustic bass and sings lead & harmony. Dennis (the dad) plays 5-string banjo & guitar, sings lead & bass, and contributes to the band's song selection with his songwriting. The newest member of the band is Allison, age 4. She has her own fiddle & mandolin, which she plays as often as she can be persuaded. She also sings all the parts, but her specialty is singing bass with Dad. . .
