The bluegrass quartet, Mountain Fury, was featured entertainment during Glenville State College's alumni weekend gathering.
The band played some new songs for those in attendance. Three members are senior music majors at Glenville and have mastered a variety of instruments. The fourth is a Glenville graduate.
The young women have developed a following throughout central West Virginia and have bookings scheduled throughout the summer.
Mountain Fury is Elizabeth and Rebekah Long of Lincolnton, Georgia, Rachel Singleton of Summersville, and Eileen Marsh of Doddridge County. Elizabeth and Rebekah are twins who now call Nashville, Tennessee home.
