Mountain Roads Recordings of Bristol, Tennessee announced today the signing of Pathway Bluegrass and Gospel Band originating from Mount Airy North Carolina, also known as Mayberry, birthplace of Andy Griffith and Snappy Lunch.   
Pathway consists of three brothers, Mitchell Freeman, Mark Freeman & Scott Freeman; Mark’s son, Justin Freeman; and two good friends of the family, Jake Long and Casey Byrd.

Mitchell and Mark started playing in 1977 with Barry and Kenneth Berrier in a band called Interstate Exchange. After a couple of years, Kenneth moved on and Eric Silver who was 16 at the time joined the band. Eric played about a year and then moved to Nashville and became a studio musician and eventually wrote some great songs for Diamond Rio, Brooks & Dunn, Martina McBride and Shania Twain. Other notables who played with the brothers include, Alan Bibey (IIIrd Time Out, Blueridge & Grasstown) and Sammy Shelor (Virginia Squires & Lonesome River Band). The brothers played a while longer and then took time off to raise families.
