East Nash Grass, a standout band from Nashville’s vibrant music scene, built its reputation on nightly performances around Music City’s East side. What began as a casual weekly bluegrass night at Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge gradually evolved into a dedicated group, eventually becoming one of bluegrass’s top young bands. In 2024, they won the IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) “New Artist of the Year” award, with members highly sought after as side musicians for genre stars. Whether playing bluegrass Mondays at Dee’s or on the Ryman Auditorium stage, East Nash Grass brings swagger, skill, and high energy to every performance.
Bronwyn Keith-Hynes is renowned as a prolific instrumentalist, earning two IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year awards and a Grammy for her work with Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway. Her new solo album, I Built a World, also showcases her impressive vocal abilities. As a child, she transitioned from music lessons to public performances, especially in Irish music, after her family moved to Charlottesville, Virginia. Her lifelong music education, including the American Roots Music program at Berklee and Savannah Music Festival’s Acoustic Music Seminar, continues to shape her work. She blends traditional bluegrass with personal expression, saying, “My favorite bluegrass musicians are rooted in tradition but don’t see boundaries.”
