Happy New Year Everyone!

As we go into 2026, we are announcing our “Farewell Tour”.

After 17 years of performing in front of the best people and venues across multiple states, it’s time to take a break, focus on our health and our families. We are looking forward to seeing you all on the road this year and will be featuring only the best in traditional bluegrass music.

I personally want to thank the current band (Henry Mabe, Tim Frye, Hersie McMillan, & Doug Joyce) for all they do. I consider these folks not only to be friends but family (some really are family)! I’m sure you will see them out and about with other bands after years end, and I hope you will support them.

Also, to all those that played a critical part in the success of the band including previous members (Rebecca Jones, Hunter Motts, Renee Martin, Jon Faries, and Danny Bowers), words can not express my gratitude for your time and sacrifices.

I am thankful for the opportunites and experiences that I have had. From immeasurable quality time with my dad on stage, sharing laughs and tall tales on the road, to meeting my wife. Bluegrass Music has been the common denominator.

With all that said, 2026 will be a special year! We hope to make it as memorable for you as it will be for us. Make sure to follow us here on Facebook for all dates.

And who knows, you might even see us from time to time in future years!

Stay tuned - Travis Frye
