Danger in the Air appears at the Burleson Jamboree Aug. 23.
Danger in the Air will perform Aug. 23
A 1982 Burleson graduate,
Angela Pregeant, now Angel McK-
inney, will make her musical debut
performance on Aug. 23, at 8 p.m. at
a Burleson musical show.
The special show will be held at
the Burleson Jamboree Theater.
McKinney is the lead vocalist and
guitarist with the new acoustic/blue-
grass band, Danger in the Air. Ad-
mission is $6, under 12 free.
McKinney was formerly a Burle-
son High 1980-82 track star. She
broke the school and regional records
in the 880, one and two mile run, and
went to state in the one and two mile
for two years. After graduating,
McKinney went to college for a
degree in music. She started teaching
fiddle, guitar and voice in Burleson
and Cleburne, where she taught many
students from the surrounding towns.
In 1989 whilestill living in Burle-
son, she met her husband to be (James
McKinney) and married in May 1990.
They moved the day they were mar-
ried to Nashille.Tenn. to perform full
time in their band Danger in the Air.
McKinney brings to the band an
outstanding purity of voice and love
of music. She is also an accomplished
songwriter and is composing several
songs to be heard on the band's up-
coming album.
National Banjo Champion and
band leader, James McKinney really
did come from Alabama with a banjo
on his knee. Considered, by many to
be the new "Pagnini of the Banjo,"
McKinney plays everything from
bluegrass to jazz. His style is a driv-
ing volley of complex textures, two
octave runs, triplets, sextuplets and
syncopations requiring the most
amazing dexterity. This is not laid
back river boat banjo. This is blast-
off ballistic banjo!
Scott Emerson is the dangerous
bassist from Clarksville, Tenn. He
started playing with Danger in the
Air in 1990. He has been playing
bluegrass since he was 6-years-old.
His first instrument was fiddle, and
he also plays banjo, guitar, dobro,
and steel guitar. In fact, it was his
ability as^t mult-instrumentalist that
made him a much sought after musi-
cian in the Kentucky and Tennessee
area. He has played with numerous
regional bands, playing everything
from gospel to country, but his real
love is bluegrass and acoustic music.
He holds down the low tones for the
group and sings harmony.
Sharon Gilchrist, mandolinist
from Southlake, Texas, was first seen
at age seven at bluegrass festivals
around the country. For six years she
performed with her brother in their
band Blue Night Express and toured
for two years in the duo, Acoustic
Manor. Always an innovator, she is
the first person ever allowed to major
• on mandolin at Belmont College in
Nashville, where her studies include
bluegrass, jazz, and classical music.
Living in Nashville for the last year,
she is already the talk of the acoustic
music scene. Her striking musical
personality adds intensity to the iden-
tifiable Danger in the Air sound.
lighted candelabras and two baskets
of white gladiolus with white lilies
and greenery.
Vickie Allen played the piano

Ydu Do."
The reception took place at the
Holiday Inn South. The reception
area was decorated with white and
peach flowers.
The groom is employed as op-
eration manager of Texas Motor Bus
