over 20 years of presenting their style of bluegrass music to fans in Virginia,
North Carolina, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, and West Virginia. Fescue is a five

slow ballads to hard driving energetic bluegrass tunes. Complimenting these
different types of songs are the various combinations of harmony vocals
available within the members of the band.

various Bluegrass festivals along with many top five finishes. The band won
first place in the Bluegrass Band competition at the prestigious Galax Fiddlers
