East Nash
Grass Halloween on 11/1
|

Celebrate
Halloween with us on November 1st, 2024 with East Nash Grass! We
want to see those costumes, so be sure to dress up for this
Halloween-themed event. The evening starts at 6:45 with The Lowland Ramblers, and East
Nash Grass takes the stage at 7:30.
"Nashville's newest bluegrass
ambassadors," East Nash Grass comes as a refreshing break -- a
balance of undeniably hard-driving bluegrass alongside surprisingly
introspective songwriting and earnest narration. Featuring a
who’s-who of Nashville’s hottest young pickers, the joy and passion
these musicians feel towards the genre is infused in every note
they play and every word they sing. Their second full-length
album Last Chance To Win was released in 2023.
East Nash Grass is James Kee (guitar &
vocals), Grand Master Fiddle champion, Maddie Denton, Gaven Largent
(dobro), “Presidential Scholar for the Arts in Jazz”, Jeff Picker
(bass), and TWO (2) IBMA Momentum Award-winners for Best
Instrumentalist, Cory Walker (banjo) and Harry Clark (mandolin).
Tickets are on sale now. Preferred seating
is $30, and reserved seating is $22. Doors open at 5:00
pm, and the concert begins at 6:45 pm. Bar and concessions
available.
