Grasstime

The origins and traditions of Bluegrass music hail from the hills of Appalachia. Family & friends gathered wherever they could and laughed, sang & danced to songs of God, love, myths, moonshine & hard times. Grasstime® is on a mission to keep this music and its heritage alive. In 2026 these kindred spirits will gather and continue those traditions.

Same as long ago, when times are tough, music helps us get through the day. We know we aren't alone, and hope that we might have made a moment in your journey a little better.

Through common bonds, the members of Grasstime® found each other in this big crazy world. They are known for rich harmonies and traditional, hard-driving bluegrass. Each performance is filled with high energy, traditional bluegrass music fun.

In 2015 Dark Horse Recording in Nashville, TN partnered with Warner Parks, Full Moon Picking Party to award a recording package. 50 bands competed for the fan-voted grand prize. The fans spoke and Grasstime won the Stable Sessions recording contest! In 2016 Grasstime® went to the studio to record, self produced CD release date June 2017.

In 2025 the band celebrates the return to the beautiful Arrington Vineyards for the 10th year! Sunflower CD was recorded in early 2022 and in 2025 more new material is on the way.
