Old-Time string band trio from North Carolina consisting of Tom (Clarence) Ashley (guitar), Clarence Greene (fiddle) and Gwen Foster (guitar, harmonica). The three recorded a number of sides November 30 - December 2, 1931. The recordings were all credited differently on the many releases from the sessions - some as individual performances by Tom Ashley or Clarence Greene or Gwen Foster and other as duos (Ashley and Greene or Ashley and Foster) and some were credited to this trio, Blue Ridge Mountain Entertainers. Auto-harpist Will Abernathy and guitarist Walter Davis were in on some of the sessions and arguably could be listed as members.
Ashley and Foster had previously recorded together in the Carolina Tar Heels and later as a duo again in 1933.
Ashley and Greene had recorded together in 1929 with Byrd Moore and His Hot Shots. - Members
