Willow Osborne made history as the first bluegrass artist to achieve viral fame in the age of social media. Since her breakthrough YouTube videos in 2012, she has inspired countless individuals to take up the banjo. Universally admired for her effortless musicality, elegant touch, and distinctive singing voice, Willow’s impact resonates across the bluegrass world and among music lovers of all genres.
Jesse Blue Eads has garnered a strong reputation as an emerging innovator of the five-string banjo. His pioneering approach stems from years of experience as a sought-after sideman in Los Angeles, working with various instruments and genres. Jesse’s impressive agility and complex musical vocabulary are beautifully balanced with his interactive and sensitive playing style, as well as his evocative yet straightforward vocals.
