NEW YORK, April 27 /Christian Newswire/ -- New York City may be famed for Broadway and Wall Street, but Diane McKoy hopes America's largest city becomes known as home to her Bluegrass Gospel band, "Diane McKoy and a Small Few."

"New York City may not be the first place that comes to mind when you hear about a Bluegrass Gospel band," says McKoy, the band's leader, "but God put 'A Small Few' in my heart and I live in New York."

Although there are many Gospel music groups in the Big Apple, Bluegrass Gospel bands are virtually nonexistent, except for "Diane McKoy and a Small Few."  There was one other.  McKoy started it.  It lasted 13 years before it disbanded.

The newly formed band features McKoy and two musician/singer friends: Steven Antonelli and Daniel Marcus.  Together they produce Bluegrass Gospel and Country Gospel, music that mixes the Good Book with strings and harmonizing.

"Diane McKoy and a Small Few" is playing at various venues throughout New York City.  The trio is making fans out of big city dwellers wherever the band plays.

"After one of our concerts, a lady commented to me that we should never call ourselves 'a small few' because it's a great three," says McKoy, "that was quite encouraging."

Now the band is praying it makes it big.  And by spreading the word of Bluegrass gospel, it gets some more exposure.

About Diane McKoy:
