About Ralph Stanley II
Ralph Stanley II is a bluegrass artist from Coeburn, VA.
Ralph Stanley II, known as Two, grew up in Dickenson County, Virginia, and joined his father's Clinch Mountain Boys as guitarist and lead singer in 1995, when he was still a teenager. He took over leadership of the band after Ralph Stanley's death in 2016. His baritone sits lower and rounder than his father's, and it suits honky-tonk as readily as it does the Stanley Brothers songbook, which he keeps in the sets alongside his own recordings.
