GSB is very pleased to announce that we have been selected to perform at the 4th annual Due South Festival in Thomasville, Georgia on April 25.
The Due South band line up was hand-selected by committee members, and the group tapped Grassland String Band to be the opening act for this year’s headliner, The Band of Heathens. The Austin, Texas group is known for being one of its hometown’s most vital musical resources, with accolades including “New Emerging Artists” and “Best Duo/Group of the Year” nominations by the Americana Music Honors & Awards and the Americana Music Association. BoH is known as one of America’s hardest-working touring acts, while revealing a musical and lyrical depth that consistently enriches an infectious song-craft. Recently, the group has been working closely with Kid Rock on his latest album, “First Kiss”, which was released in February.
The Due South Festival celebrates the authentic southern connection between land, family and tradition. Due South “weaves together the richness of sights, sounds and tastes of the new South to create an engaging tapestry of artistic expression that enriches, inspires and connects us to our shared heritage.”
