Groupe Bluegrass US formé en 2004 par des
musiciens professionnels de Nashville et composé de Terry Eldredge et Jamie
Johnson (de l'Indiana), Danny Roberts et Jimmy Mattingly (du Kentucky), Terry
Smith (de Caroline du Nord) et du Canadien David Talbot. Ils
ont eu plusieurs changement de 2006 a 2008 : Jeremy Abshire a
remplacé Jimmy Mattingly en 2008, Kristin Scott Benson (IBMA's 2008 et 2009
Banjo Player of the Year) a remplacé Aaron McDaris (qui est maintenant avec
Rhonda Vincent, ou il remplace
Kenny Ingram). Aaron McDaris avait remplacé David Talbot en 2006.
The Grascals are
a contemporary bluegrass band formed in 2004 by seasoned Nashville musicians who
also happened to be great friends. Each of the band's six original members had
been performing bluegrass music for roughly two decades before forming the
Grascals, and knew each other either from childhood or through professional
gigging with artists like
the Osborne Brothers,
Dolly Parton,
Reba McEntire, and
Jimmy Martin, among many others.
The group originally consisted of Indiana natives Terry Eldredge (guitar and
vocals) and Jamie Johnson (guitar and vocals), Kentucky natives and childhood
friends Danny Roberts (guitar) and Jimmy Mattingly (fiddle), North Carolina-born Terry
Smith (bass), and Canadian-born banjo player David Talbot (who met Eldredge while
performing with Larry Cordle). The band gained national attention when it toured
with Dolly Parton in 2004. The Grascals released
a three-song EP in late 2004, which featured guest vocals from Parton on
a cover of "Viva Las Vegas," and their self-titled full-length debut arrived via
Rounder Records in 2005. Long List of Heartaches arrived in the summer of 2006,
followed by Keep on Walkin' in 2008; the latter introduced new fiddler Jeremy
Abshire, who joined the group in 2007.
Ace banjo player Kristin Scott Benson joined the group for its fourth album, The
Famous Lefty Flynn's, which appeared in 2010. One year later, an association
with the Cracker Barrel eatery chain produced the restaurant-exclusive
release The Grascals & Friends: Country Classics with a Bluegrass Spin. Also
arriving in 2011 was the EP Dance Til Your Stockings Are Hot & Ravelin': A
Tribute to the Music of The Andy Griffith Show. A new full-length, Life Finds a
Way, followed in 2012, and was the group's first album for Mountain Home
Records, with When I Get My Pay following in 2013. That year also saw the debut
of new bandmember Adam Haynes, who replaced Jeremy Abshire on fiddle. In 2015,
founding member Jamie Johnson exited the Grascals, and guitarist and singer John
Bryan joined the group in his place. In January 2016, the Grascals released
their eighth album, And Then There's This..., with a steady stream of concert
dates booked in support.
