Doors 7P | Show 8P$20 ADV | $25 DOS21+East Nash Grass exemplifies the best of what bluegrass has to offer as being named the 2024 IBMA[International Bluegrass Music Association] New Artist of the Year would suggest. But their breathtakingtalent as singers, instrumentalists, and composers is just the beginning. While other acts chase their tailin search of nostalgia, the secret to East Nash Grass lies in their unflinching ability to be themselves.It certainly helps that they are a veritable supergroup of award-winners who have been performing longerthan anyone would guess that theyve been alive. With a lifetime of experience in both new and legacyacts (Dan Tyminski, Tim OBrien, Sierra Hull, Rhonda Vincent, etc.), the tradition of bluegrass isfundamental to who they are as musicians and performers. Yet its their irreverent, adventurous, andaudacious tendencies as next-gen performers that light a fire under audiences. Their ability to hone thisedge was forged in the crucible of a dive bar outside of Nashville, TN that they all but single-handedlyput on the (bluegrass) map during their seven-year weekly residency.After hundreds of sets (and countless late-night jams), through personnel changes, industry changes,and a never-ending string of unprecedented world events, East Nash Grass has coalesced into thehair-raising ensemble of Harry Clark [mandolin], Cory Walker [banjo], James Kee [guitar], and IBMA 2025Fiddle Player of the Year Maddie Denton [fiddle], Their love of both bluegrass and the absurd can be feltin both their live shows and on their new album All Gods Children (Mountain Fever, 2025). Much likewatching a bowling ball and feather fall together, expectations of what should and shouldnt work arechallenged as the paradox of authenticity is revealed. Shock leads to excitement as risks keep listenerson the edge of their seats and irrefutable mastery drives home that this is no mere imitation of bluegrass:this IS bluegrass.
