SUMMARY:Asleep At The Wheel
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKETS\n			\n	Join us on December 12\, 2025 for Asleep At The Wheel at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum! \nIn February of 1974 Asleep at the Wheel made the move from the Bay Area to Austin\, Texas. After playing the Armadillo World Headquarters with Commander Cody and his Lost Planet Airmen in 1973 – and receiving encouragement from Willie Nelson and Doug Sahm to relocate – the band settled in and made Austin their home\, where they remain 50 years later. \nAsleep at the Wheel’s lineup is ever changing. Since 1970 the band has had over 100 members come through. In the past\, when a new member or two has joined a new album has emerged. In 2025 that still remains true. \nOne key and important role in Asleep at the Wheel and in Texas and Western Swing music is the fiddle. “It’s crazy to think that Ian Stewart\, our newest vocalist and fiddler\, grew up five minutes away from my house and that had nothing to do with the reason he is in the band\,” says Benson. \nWhat has followed the recent lineup change is a steady dose of touring the world – and now the band’s 32nd record Riding High In Texas\, featuring Stewart and Benson as the band’s lead vocalists. This marks AATW’s first new release since their 50th anniversary project Half A Hundred Years in 2021. \nJoining Stewart for their very first Wheel album appearances are Michael Archer (bass)\, Curtis Clogston (steel guitar/dobro) and Lyon Graulty (horns). AATW former members Danny Levin (piano/fiddle)\, Joey Colarusso (horns) and David Sanger (drums) round out the group for this new record\, Riding High In Texas. \n“This album is an introduction to the current and future of AATW\,” says Benson. “I know another 55 years isn’t in the cards\, but I want to keep pushing and creating as much as I can\, for as long as I can. Ian and the new guys give me the motivation and energy to keep this going. I hope everyone enjoys this eclectic collection of some of our favorite songs about Texas. The future for AATW is bright – and we’ll keep on Riding High In Texas!” \nTickets are on sale now. Preferred seating is $50\, and reserved seating is $40. Doors open at 6:00 pm\, and the concert begins at 7:00 pm. Bar and concessions available. \n			\n							GET TICKETS\n			\n				\n				\n				\n	Bundle Tickets with Discounted Hotel Stay\nLocated next door to the Hall of Fame\, The Hampton Inn & Suites Waterfront is the perfect option for accommodations when joining us for a concert!  Enjoy sweeping riverfront views while staying with our hotel partner.  When you bundle your tickets\, the Hampton Inn offers discounted rates for your stay.  The price includes two tickets to the concert\, and the tickets are located in row H.

SUMMARY:John Hartford Days
DESCRIPTION:Join us January 31\, 2026\, for a special celebration honoring the legendary John Hartford! John Hartford was a trailblazer in American music\, known for his virtuoso fiddle and banjo playing\, innovative songwriting\, and boundless creativity. Best known as the composer of “Gentle on My Mind”\, Hartford’s music seamlessly blended bluegrass\, folk\, and country\, earning him a lasting legacy in the music world. Beyond his recordings\, he was a masterful performer and a passionate advocate for traditional music\, inspiring countless musicians with his unique style and infectious energy. This unforgettable event will feature a stellar lineup of artists\, including the Tim O’Brien Band\, Robbie Fulks\, and The Wildmans. \n\n GET TICKETS  \nThe Lineup \n\n\nGrammy-winning singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Tim O’Brien grew up singing in church and in school. After seeing Doc Watson on TV\, he became a lifelong devotee of old-time and bluegrass music. Tim started touring nationally in 1978 with Colorado bluegrass band Hot Rize. His songs “Walk the Way the Wind Blows” and “Untold Stories” were bluegrass hits for Hot Rize\, and country hits for Kathy Mattea. Soon\, more artists like Nickel Creek\, Garth Brooks\, and The Dixie Chicks covered his songs. \nOver the years\, Tim has collaborated with his sister Mollie O’Brien\, songwriter Darrell Scott\, and noted old-time musician Dirk Powell\, as well as with Steve Earle\, Mark Knopfler\, Dan Auerbach\, Sturgill Simpson\, and Steve Martin. The International Bluegrass Music Association awarded him Song of the Year in 2006 and named him best male vocalist in 1993 and 2006. He was inducted into the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame in 2013 and into the Colorado Music Hall of Fame in 2022. \n\n\nRobbie Fulks has always been more than a conventional country singer and songwriter. Fulks began his professional music career playing bluegrass in the band Special Consensus before emerging as a solo artist in Chicago during the mid-1990s. His early albums received nationwide praise for blending a modern sensibility with honky-tonk country. \nAlong the way\, Fulks gained recognition for his instrumental virtuosity and powerful songwriting. Artists like Sam Bush\, Andrew Bird\, John Cowan\, the Old 97’s\, and Hiss Golden Messenger have covered his songs\, and he has released full albums reinterpreting the works of Michael Jackson and Bob Dylan. \n\n\nNot far from Floyd\, Virginia is the childhood home of The Wildmans\, the sibling duo that has just released their debut album\, “Longtime Friend.” Growing up in Floyd\, Aila and Elisha were immersed in the rich\, vibrant bluegrass and old-time music scenes. \n As kids\, Elisha picked up the guitar and mandolin\, while Aila reached for the fiddle. They became enamored with their instruments\, which parlayed itself into both winning numerous renowned competitions around Southern Appalachia. The Americana/indie-folk act has been garnering a lot of attention\, and Longtime Friend showcases their interlacing harmonies and musical virtuosity – at the sonic crossroads of Americana\, alt-country\, and folk. \n GET TICKETS  \n  \n SHOP NOW

His father\, legendary mandolinist\, composer\, and producer\, David Grisman\, was constantly having friends come over to his home studio for recording sessions and rehearsals. These friends\, such as Doc Watson\, Jerry Garcia\, John Hartford\, Mike Seeger\, and Tony Rice all left an impression on the younger Grisman and inspired him to pursue a life making music with his many talented friends. \nSam Grisman Project was created to shed light on the music that Sam grew up around\, and highlight that music’s influence on the members of the collective and in the greater music community. The band’s shows create a safe space where the band and audience can bask in the shared love and reverence for the great music and musicians who continue to inspire us all. \nThe friends who make up Sam Grisman Project are a rotating cadre of acousticians who are some of the brightest individual voices on their respective instruments. Members of this rotating cast of instrumental wizards include guitarists Max Flansburg\, Logan Ledger\, Sam Leslie\, Henry Moser\, Jesse Harper\, and Jefferson Hamer\, mandolinists Dominick Leslie\, Joe K. Walsh\, Matt Flinner\, and Jesse Appelman\, clawhammer banjo maestro Victor Furtado\, fiddlers John Mailander\, Alex Hargreaves\, Nate Leath\, Shad Cobb\, and Phoebe Hunt\, cellist Nat Smith\, and Todd Livingston on the Dobro. \nThe band also frequently collaborates with legendary singer\, songwriter\, and bluegrass pioneer Peter Rowan\, a deeply meaningful connection for Sam and the band tying directly back to his father David Grisman and the Old and In the Way legacy. Over the years Sam Grisman Project has been joined by a wide range of spontaneous and exciting guests including David Grisman\, John Sebastian\, Tim O’Brien\, Billy Strings\, Maria Muldaur\, Margo Price\, and many more. \nThis ever evolving collective of exceptional humans who happen to be incredible musicians is a testament to the abundance of joy\, and wealth of experiences that growing up around this timeless music has brought into the younger Grisman’s life. Sam Grisman Project is committed to putting their love\, gratitude\, and individuality into the music that they share on stage each night\, and to participating in the community effort of preserving\, expanding\, and appreciating great American acoustic music. \n\n				\n	\n\n			KELLER WILLIAMS’ GRATEFUL GRASS	\n	Growing up in Virginia\, Keller Williams was given his first guitar at age 3\, but didn’t actually start playing until he was in his teens. He first appeared on the scene in the early ’90’s and his solo live shows\, filled with quirky improvised tunes\, quickly became the stuff of legends. While his live gigs have largely been solo affairs\, Williams has nearly always used his albums as a forum for collaborations with fellow musicians\, such as The String Cheese Incident\, The Grateful Dead’s Bob Weir\, banjo master Béla Fleck\, American musician/poet Michael Franti\, The Travelin’ McCourys\, and many others. As years have gone by and Keller has continued to evolve he has created more and more unique projects and collaborations with fellow musicians. \nAfter touring in 2010 with original Grateful Dead drummers Mickey Hart and Bill Kreutzmann as part of their powerhouse assemblage\, The Rhythm Devils\, Williams put together two Dead-inspired projects: Grateful Grass and Grateful Gospel. \nKeller’s Grateful Grass delivers anything-but-traditional bluegrass versions of Grateful Dead favorites. Grateful Grass often times has a rotating lineup and so far\, has included collaborations with The Keels\, Keith Moseley (SCI)\, Jeff Austin (Yonder Mountain String Band)\, Michael Kang (SCI)\, Reed Mathis (Tea Leaf Green\, Mark Benevento Trio) Bill Nershi (SCI)\, Allie Kral\, Vince Herman (Leftover Salmon)\, Sam Grisman\, Love Canon\, the Hillbenders and The Infamous Stringdusters. \n\n				\n	\n\n			JERRY & DAWG REVISITED	\n	Jerry & Dawg Revisited is a recreation of the sound and spirit of Jerry Garcia & David Grisman (1990-1994) with original members Joe Craven and Jim Kerwin. \nIn 1964\, Jerry Garcia and David Grisman met in the parking lot of a bluegrass festival at Sunset Park in West Grove\, Pennsylvania. That serendipitous meeting started a relationship that five years later found them as members of an all-star Bluegrass band\, Old & In The Way. The group released a legendary live album in 1973 that introduced Bluegrass to a much broader audience. It was during that stint together that Garcia nicknamed Grisman “Dawg\,” and sometime thereafter Grisman decided to name the style of music that he played “Dawg Music.” \nTheir individual careers took Garcia and Grisman down separate paths\, but years later\, they bumped into each other at a party in 1990 that rekindled their friendship with some casual get-togethers to play a variety of American roots music that they both loved. Grisman was launching his new record label Acoustic Disc\, and Garcia suggested they record an album together to celebrate the new label and enjoy making all-acoustic music again. They decided to add a rhythm section of David Grisman Quintet members; percussionist / fiddler / rhythm mandolinist Joe Craven\, and upright bassist Jim Kerwin. In August of 1991\, Grisman released what was to be the first of a series of Acoustic Disc recordings under the name “Garcia Grisman.” That first release was nominated for a Grammy in Best Contemporary Folk Album of that year. \nGarcia passed away in 1995\, and Grisman rarely tours these days; but the music lives on with the original rhythm section of Joe Craven and Jim Kerwin\, and Stu Allen on acoustic guitar and vocals\, and either Ronnie McCoury or Andrew Collins on mandolin. Jerry & Dawg Revisited is reintroducing that original sound and songs to new and old generations alike\, with guest artists who bring the passion and virtuosity of Jerry and Dawg to the live stage!

SUMMARY:John Hartford Days
DESCRIPTION:Join us April 18\, 2026\, for a special celebration honoring the legendary John Hartford!\nJohn Hartford was a trailblazer in American music\, known for his virtuoso fiddle and banjo playing\, innovative songwriting\, and boundless creativity. Best known as the composer of “Gentle on My Mind”\, Hartford’s music seamlessly blended bluegrass\, folk\, and country\, earning him a lasting legacy in the music world. Beyond his recordings\, he was a masterful performer and a passionate advocate for traditional music\, inspiring countless musicians with his unique style and infectious energy.\nThis unforgettable event will feature a stellar lineup of artists\, including:\n5:45 PM – Caleb Klauder & Reeb Willms \n7:00 PM – Mike Compton & Joe Newberry \n8:15 PM – Darrell Scott String Band feat. Rob Ickes \n			\n						GET TICKETS\n					\n	The Lineup \n	Darrell Scott String Band\nFeaturing Rob Ickes\n\n				\n	\n	The Darrell Scott String Band delivers a commanding\, roots-driven sound blending bluegrass\, folk\, and modern Americana with a mix of raw roots power\, storytelling depth\, and instrumental virtuosity. \nLed by acclaimed singer\, songwriter\, and multi-instrumentalist Darrell Scott\, the ensemble brings together a world-class lineup of acoustic musicians whose collective artistry elevates Scott’s evocative songs into something both timeless and boldly present. Scott’s songs have been recorded by a multitude of artists such as The Chicks\, Garth Brooks\, Patty Loveless\, and Keb’ Mo’. A prolific collaborator and producer\, Scott’s musical contributions span hundreds of recordings across Country\, Folk\, and Americana\, including tours with Guy Clark\, Robert Plant\, Steve Earle\, and the Zac Brown Band. In 2025\, Scott was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Americana Music Association\, recognizing his enduring impact on American roots music. \nThe String Band features Grammy-winning Dobro master Rob Ickes\, one of the most decorated instrumentalists in bluegrass. A founding member of Blue Highway and an in-demand collaborator\, Ickes brings unmatched tone and technical brilliance to the group. His work has garnered multiple Grammy nominations\, including a 2025 Grammy Award for Best Traditional Blues Album for his collaboration with Taj Mahal. Ickes has performed and recorded with music icons such as Earl Scruggs\, Doc Watson\, Merle Haggard\, Dolly Parton\, Jerry Douglas\, Alison Krauss\, and David Grisman. \nAnchoring the low end is Bryn Davies\, a powerhouse bassist and vocalist whose rock-solid groove\, rich bass textures\, and harmony vocals provide both drive and subtlety. Davies has toured with artists including Peter Rowan\, Tony Rice\, Patty Griffin\, Jack White\, Justin Townes Earle\, Jim Lauderdale\, and Guy Clark. \nMandolin and banjo virtuoso Matt Flinner adds precision\, invention\, and compositional depth. Widely regarded as one of the premier mandolinists in modern acoustic music\, Flinner has performed and recorded with Tim O’Brien\, Alison Brown\, Steve Martin\, The Modern Mandolin Quartet\, Leftover Salmon\, Darol Anger\, Todd Phillips\, and David Grier. \nOn fiddle and harmony vocals\, Shad Cobb brings a soulful\, old-time rooted intensity marked by fiery bow work and deep traditional feel. Cobb’s career includes performances and projects with The Osborne Brothers\, John Cowan\, Tim O’Brien\, Billy Strings\, John Prine\, Willie Nelson\, and Nanci Griffith. \nWith their collective roots in bluegrass\, folk\, Newgrass\, and Americana\, the Darrell Scott String Band pairs instrumental mastery with fearless\, intuitive interplay creating performances that are dynamic\, resonant\, and unfolding in real time. \n	Caleb & Reeb\n\n				\n	\n	Dust off your boots and gather around for some true and original modern honky tonk music. An all-star cast of master musicians backs these two soul singers of country music\, Caleb Klauder and Reeb Willms. These two are known to roots music fans across the globe for their soulful harmonies\, driving dance tunes\, classic original songs\, and commitment to the raw truth of rural American music. They live in the San Juan Islands of Washington\, though until recently\, home was Portland\, OR. They are foundational to the exceptional old-time and country music scene in the Pacific NW with the Caleb Klauder Reeb Willms Country Band and their membership in the Foghorn Stringband\, of which Caleb was a founding member. Charismatic performers\, they bring their unique set of talents to the stage with an eye towards good times and an ear towards the deepest songs and tunes. \nCaleb Klauder and Reeb Willms both originally hail from Washington State: Caleb from the coastal islands\, and Reeb from the high desert plateau. The two have come together in music and are hailed as some of the most compelling musicians making country roots music in America today. When these two sing together\, their honest incantations leave us spell-bound and smiling. \nTheir repertoire is made up of original songs and tunes as well as gems from American roots repertoires\, and the music they make is Americana in the truest sense of the word. Music is clearly in their blood. Caleb and Reeb’s originals and interpretations of songs have been covered and recorded by many performers and their musical presence reaches into a diverse and loyal fanbase\, giving creedance to the impact that this duo has on their listeners. Pillars of the Northwest music scene\, they carry the torch of their music around the world\, and can be found touring as a duo\, as well as with the Foghorn Stringband\, and the Caleb Klauder Country Band. Their fans exude admiration for the timeless sound that these two produce\, capturing the essence of American roots music. \nSometimes we get so unnecessarily swept up in who’s rising and falling in music these days that the sheer joy of music is overlooked. One of the great things about Caleb and Reeb is that they are a world apart from all of that nonsense and let you immerse yourself in the melody and story of classic sounding country music until all other cares of life fade away. Country music is the music of working people who use it to pass the time and forget about the ever-present hardships in their lives. After years of touring together\, Reeb and Caleb work intuitively. \nCaleb’s study and understanding of roots music is so dedicated and rich\, that he can hauntingly immerse himself in the same perspective of those old primitive country composers and write as if he was right beside them. Their album Innocent Road includes a clutch of lovingly arranged Klauder originals\, along with well-placed and rare covers. The pair bring the spirit of legendary country duos into their contemporary takes on country music. Trading vocals back and forth\, they complement each other strikingly well in an attractive meld of honky-tonk that brushes shoulders with trad bluegrass. Caleb has penned over 50 songs many of which are standards across America in honky tonk and bluegrass jams and festivals\, both on and off stage. There is a long list of bands and singers who have recorded Caleb’s songs over the years. \nThe blend of true harmonies\, the sharply-written country songs\, and the un-showy authenticity strike a rich vein that makes them seem like they are born and raised in Music City.  They quietly pursue a musical vision without much of a care for what’s expected or in vogue at the time. There’s a lot to admire in this singular perseverance and honesty. \n	Compton & Newberry\n\n				\n	\n	Mike Compton and Joe Newberry mine one of the more neglected segments of country music history: the period during the ’30s and ’40s when brother duet music was transitioning into\, what is now known today as\, bluegrass. Both masters of the bedrock instruments of traditional music\, they collaborate with a vision that is both modern and ageless. \nMike Compton\, a Grammy-winning mandolinist\, is widely recognized for his mastery of the Monroe-style mandolin playing. With a career spanning over four decades\, Compton has collaborated with legendary artists such as John Hartford\, Nashville Bluegrass Band\, Elvis Costello\, Ralph Stanley as well as a featured performer on the “Oh Brother\, Where Art Thou?” soundtrack as well as a mainstay in the two highly successful tours that followed. Mike has done two consecutive years Artist in Residence at East Tennessee State University’s “Appalachian Studies/Bluegrass and Old Time” Program. His unique blend of bluegrass\, old-time\, and traditional music has captivated audiences across the globe. \n Known around the world for his clawhammer banjo playing\, Joe Newberry is also a powerful guitarist\, singer and songwriter. The Gibson Brothers’ version of his song “Singing As We Rise\,” won the IBMA “Gospel Recorded Performance” Award. With Eric Gibson\, he shared the IBMA “Song of the Year” Award for “They Called It Music.” A longtime and frequent guest on A Prairie Home Companion\, he was also a featured singer on the Transatlantic Sessions tour of the U.K.\, and at the Transatlantic Session’s debut at Merlefest.  Growing up in a Missouri family full of singers and dancers\, he took up the guitar and banjo as a teenager and learned tunes and songs from mentors from coast to coast. \n			\n						GET TICKETS\n					\n\n				\n				\n				\n	\n			\n						SHOP NOW

SUMMARY:Henhouse Prowlers
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKETS\n			\n	Join us May 6\, 2026 for the Henhouse Prowlers at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum! \nWith many of their wildest dreams strung across more than two decades together\, the Prowlers’ sight remains fixed on the future. \nIt’s been 20 years well spent. The kinship between Ben Wright (banjo\, vocals)\, Chris Dollar (guitar\, vocals)\, Jon Goldfine (bass\, vocals)\, and Jake Howard (mandolin\, vocals) is palpable\, the four having traveled to places most would never predict. Using these experiences as a foundation\, there’s truly no limit to where this Chicago-based quartet will go – literally and figuratively. \nEver constant in the group’s enthralling performances is their ability to showcase their passion for both their craft and our shared humanity. Each member skilled in storytelling\, compelling songwriting and intricate instrumentation\, they offer intrinsic artistic prowess\, fervently building on one another’s raw talent. Reverence for tradition coupled with curiosity and innovation lands the Prowlers in a category difficult to define but explosively intriguing around every bend. \nTheir latest record\, ‘Unravel\,’ produced by Dark Shadow Recording’s Stephen Mougin (Sam Bush Band) underscores the band’s resistance towards being contained\, some tunes expressing a modern Americana feel with others nodding to classic country and bluegrass standards. On this newest offering\, their trademark four-piece harmonies have only matured in tone and sincerity\, their picking ferocious as ever. It’s a testament to their emboldened status as composers\, walking fine lines and eschewing strict categorization in favor of experimentation and satisfying their inner artistry. \nThe subject matter largely encircles ever-challenging life on the road\, as well as reflections on war\, personal quests\, the passage of time\, and tremendous loss\, all rounded out by peaks of joy\, lighthearted imagination\, and hearts unburdened. Mirroring their worldly touring reality\, seemingly no terrain is left untraversed. Weathered and worn\, nevertheless brightly shining for all to see\, ‘Unravel’ welcomes the listener as though they were an old companion\, eager to share their intimate stories of years gone by. \nBut you haven’t really experienced the band until you’ve seen them onstage. Audiences will hear tunes from their extensive songbook accompanied by an inspiring narrative and bluegrassy takes on international tunes from their travels\, perhaps even in a language they’ve never heard before. \nTo date\, the Prowlers have toured 30 countries on 5 continents working with the U.S. State Dept and their own nonprofit\, Bluegrass Ambassadors. The group’s many life-changing encounters with people and musicians across the globe have shaped their worldview and bolstered the bridges they establish between cultures. Through immersive workshops and presentations suitable for all ages\, they spread the familiarities discovered in unsuspecting corners of the world\, broadcasting what they are certain of: we\, as humans\, have more in common than we don’t. Time and time again\, music demonstrates that\, with curiosity towards our fellow humans\, beautiful connections can sprout. \nFor the Henhouse Prowlers\, the work extends far beyond the stage – they are deeply committed to fostering a more compassionate world.

SUMMARY:Showman and Coole
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKETS\n			\n	Join us May 27th\, 2026 for Showman and Coole at the Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame & Museum! \nThrough twenty-five years and thousands of shows together in bands such as The Foggy Hogtown Boys and The Lonesome Ace Stringband\, John Showman and Chris Coole have developed a deep and instinctual musical bond. Their music lurks in a truly unique space that is somewhere on the outskirts of old-time\, bluegrass\, and folk. The songs of John Hartford\, Hank Williams\, Dock Boggs\, and The Band share space with the fiddle tunes of Eck Robertson and Ed Haley. The duo’s original songs and tunes take in all these vistas and paint something both personal and timely. \nThey have performed across North America and Europe at festivals such as Merlefest\, Rockygrass\, Winnipeg Folk Festival\, Mariposa\, Wintergrass\, Gooikroots\, and the John Hartford Memorial Festival. In 2022\, the duo released two albums; Afield a collection of old-time fiddle tunes\, and Much Further Out than Inevitable – A Tribute to Some Music of John Hartford. They are currently writing and releasing a steady stream of new and original singles and videos and have compiled this new music for a January 2026 release on CD and vinyl titled Big Wing.

SUMMARY:J2B2 - John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band
DESCRIPTION:GET TICKETS  \nJoin us on July 16\, 2026 for J2B2 – John Jorgenson Bluegrass Band! \nJ2B2 is an all-star bluegrass supergroup featuring four legendary\, award-winning musicians: John Jorgensonon acoustic guitar\, mandolin and vocals; Herb Pedersen on banjo\, acoustic guitar and vocals; Patrick Sauber on acoustic guitar and vocals; and Mark Fain on bass – delivering bluegrass like no one has ever heard it before. \nThe combination of forces by Jorgenson\, Pedersen\, Sauber\, and Fain form a spot-on union of impeccable musicianship\, incomparable songwriting\, incredible harmony vocals (a fresh twist combining bluegrass with elements of West Coast folk rock) and seasoned showmanship. This is the “high lonesome sound” of American roots music at its finest. \nJohn Jorgenson is a co-founder (with Herb Pedersen and Chris Hillman) of the formative country rock group Desert Rose Band. In 1990\, Jorgenson founded the Hellecasters and toured with Sir Elton John’s band for six years\, before later reuniting with John as lead guitarist for many European dates of the record-breaking Farewell Yellow Brick Road Tour. An impressively eclectic range of artists including Sting\, Luciano Pavarotti\, Bonnie Raitt\, Billy Joel\, Barbra Streisand\, Bob Seger\, and Earl Scruggs have sought out Jorgenson to be part of their own recordings and/or performances.
