There are not many sectors of bluegrass music that weren’t at one point or another touched by the work of mandolin player Roland White. The brother of fellow bluegrass legend and later country rocker Clarence White, an original member of The Kentucky Colonels, an acolyte of Bill Monroe in his Bluegrass Boys, a founding member of Lester Flatt’s Nashville Grass, not to mention his later years in The Country Gazette and the famed Nashville Bluegrass Band, Roland White’s mandolin appeared all across the bluegrass catalog.

Roland White died on Friday, April 1st. He was 83 years old.

A chilling mystery was uncovered as country musician Larry Petree and his wife of 60 years were found dead on a remote road in the middle of Mojave Desert in California.

Autopsy results haven’t been released yet, but family and friends say it’s extremely unusual for them to travel that far from home on a remote road.

Larry Petree was found sitting in the driver’s seat of the vehicle. His wife, Betty Petree, was leaning against the rear tire.
