PERFORMER SPOTLIGHT – EAST NASH GRASS

East Nash Grass is one of the hottest young bands in Bluegrass.

They are far more than impressive instrumental technicians. As a group that came together organically on Nashville’s East Side, playing tiny stages for the love of it between tours backing bigger acts, they have a hard-forged bond that’s reflected in their stage chemistry. 

“East Nash Grass not only has great cohesiveness, but also loads of versatility.” – Braeden Paul, Bluegrass Today

Like birds in a flock, each keenly aware of one another’s every move, the pickers in East Nash Grass fly in tight formation, no matter the twists and turns the moment demands.

East Nash Grass is Maddie Denton (fiddle), Cory Walker (banjo), Harry Clark (mandolin), Jeff Partin (bass), and frontman James Kee. This powerhouse leader of the next generation in bluegrass excellence will hit the Strawberry stage on Sunday, May 25th! Listen and learn more here.
