04/30/2015 - Mean Woman Grill Presents Sterling Masat & Bryce Jordan

By Jimmy Dunn South Plains College Music program has been called the Julliard of Bluegrass by the New York Times, and Sterling Masat teaches Bluegrass at SPC. You do the math. He’s Very good! Sterling Masat is in his 3rd year of teaching bluegrass and acoustic music at South Plains College, and at 26, he’s completed a lot of items on the bucket list of a much older musician. After touring 43 states with his family band by 16 it always looked like Sterling would have a career in music. He went to South Plains College in 2009 and after completing his two years made the gutsy move to Nashville Tennessee with just what he could fit in his compact car. He found work there as a touring banjo player and played internationally at some of the world’s biggest acoustic music festivals as well as making his debut at the Ryman Auditorium. In the fall of 2012 he was asked to join the faculty of SPC and has been there ever since. He loves teaching musicians of all ages and seeing their success. Bryce Jordan is a musician who lives and breathes mandolin. He’s been playing since he could talk, and at only 19, that’s still longer than Obama has been president. He studied worship arts at LeTourneau and is currently focusing on bluegrass studies at South Plains College. He has played a plethora of festivals, church services and weddings as well as joining Rounder recording artist, the Queen of Bluegrass, Rhonda Vincent on stage.
