"Tellin' It" , co-written by Calina Boggs and Ron Lay Jr is being very well-received by our friends in radio! This song is from our latest CD entitled Soul Fillin' Station. If you haven't heard it yet, give your DJ a call to request this uplifting song from the latest Porch-Lite Compilation Disk.
Hi--I'm a Southern Gospel DJ in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area and I just wanted to let you know that I'm a big fan of your music! I've gotten more response from "Tellin' It" than I have from any other song! Your music and your ministry is definitely blessed and it shows in the immense talent you all have and the work you produce. This email actually has a two-fold purpose: 1) To gush--just want to let you know that y'all are a big hit here in the DFW area. 2) Les Butler with Singing News Southern Gospel magazine is compiling a list of favorite bluegrass artists. I emailed him about NJB and he wanted some more info so I sent him the link to your website. Just thought I'd drop a line, introduce myself, and let ya know what an AWESOME job y'all are doing!

"Soul Fillin' Station" - CD Review by PowerSource MagazineThey are a gifted Gospel Bluegrass family quartet from Ohio, and New Jerusalem Bluegrass (Calina, Candy, Diana, and Rusty Boggs) received a pair of ICM nominations last fall. Here they give us twelve terrific songs, including covers of Hank Williams A House Of Gold and He Looked Beyond My Faults (And Saw My Need) by Dottie Rambo. Teen-aged vocalist, fiddle/mandolin/banjo player Calina co-wrote the lead song, Tellin It. Their family harmonies are outstanding, as is the instrumental work on tunes such as the difficult, racehorse-tempo Bill Monroe favorite Get Up John. (June 2010)
"Precious Memories" - CD Review by Micki and Gene Farrington of Country Gospel Connection Radio (Branson, MO)
Our rating system rates 1 - 5, with 5 being the highest..."Walk a Mile In My Shoes" and I Know That I Know" are both 6's, over the top!
There are no songs on this project that rate below a 4. We give "Heaven's Just a Prayer Away"and "I'm Just an Old Chunk of Coal" both 5's. New Jerusalem Bluegrass has an awesome sound and instrumentation. (June 2009)
From Powersource Magazine's website:
New Jerusalem Bluegrass - Precious Memories
"Exciting things have been happening for New Jerusalem Bluegrass, the family Bluegrass Gospel quartet from Ohio. "Crossing That Bridge Tomorrow," written by the quartet's 16-year-old fiddle and mandolin player and vocalist Calina Boggs, has reached the Top 5 of the Bluegrass charts. This album provides "Precious Memories" not just for the Boggs family (the quartet is made up of Rusty, Diana, Calina, and Candy Boggs) but for all their fans as well. A bonus track, "Who Am I," features the stirring vocals of Diana's mom Opal, who passed on years ago, now combined in the studio with the harmonies of her daughter and grandchildren. "Through modern technology," as the liner notes tell us, "three generations of our family get to sing together for the first time." Like everything New Jerusalem Bluegrass does, it's pure magic. (May 2009)
Candy Boggs Bluegrass and NewGrass
The Carter Family proved it, and the Boggs family reminds us again that theres just something special about a family band and blood harmony. Something pure and loving that cant be manufactured. This thirteen-year-old knows how to pick songs, bringing us an inspiring collection that includes Jerry Reeds A Thing Called Love, Gerald Crabbs Happy Song, and traditional treasures like Another Soldier and Living On The Other Side. The band, New Jerusalem, has several albums to their credit, but this is the first to feature Candy, and its high time. Shes not only got the voice, but also the soul, to deliver these great songs. In a sea of ultra-talented Bluegrassers, Candy and family shine like stars on the tide. (August 2008)
