Nothin’ Fancy Bluegrass Band

Nothin’ Fancy was formed as a bluegrass band in 1994 to compete in a bluegrass competition. Ever since then, they have grown in popularity, released 17 full length albums, and continue to perform at festivals across the United States, Canada, Holland, and Norway. Some of our previous venues include the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, TN, the Lincoln Center in New York City, and the Birchmere in Alexandria, Virginia. They have successfully hosted their own Nothin’ Fancy Bluegrass Festival every year since 2001 in Buena Vista, Virginia (with 2020 and 2021 excluded due to the pandemic years). Their full-time touring schedule has earned them one of the most loyal fan bases in all of bluegrass music.

Their strong vocals, powerful instrumentation, and energetic stage presence, along with their friendly down-to-earth charm keeps people coming back for more. Nothin’ Fancy is not just carrying on the tradition of bluegrass music; they are contributing to the creation of a new tradition within the acoustic music genre. The band has weathered much in their 30 years of existence from major personnel changes to surviving through a pandemic, and yet the band of brothers that make up Nothin’ Fancy are stronger now than ever, and we look forward to bringing the energy and excitement.
