Sister Sadie

An image of bluegrass band Sister Sadie with the text: "A supergroup in perhaps their strongest iteration yet. Like The Chicks with a dash of The Judds and a pinch of Patty Loveless, played by an absurdly talented bluegrass lineup."

Ashley Campbell

An image of Ashley Campbell in a cowboy hat with the text: "Ashley Campbell is another stellar musical multi-hyphenate – it must run in the family. She's a fantastic banjo player, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, genre-bender, and performer."

Vince Gill & Paul Franklin

An image of Vince Gill & Paul Franklin with their instruments, including the text: "Now that's some GOOD COUNTRY. These two need no introduction, they are perfect examples of the heights to which all country instrumentalists aspire."

Brennen Leigh

Brennen Leigh in a cowboy hat and patterened sleeveless top, with the caption: "At home in Nashville, Texas, and the Minnesota prairie, Brennen Leigh is as bluegrassy as she is honky tonkin' and a quintessential singer-songwriter-frontwoman-picker."

Joy Clark

Joy Clark is pictured with a hollow body electric guitar and the text: "Black Opry alum Joy Clark is a BGS/GC favorite. Whatever the context – folk, Americana, or country; solo or in a band – her one-of-a-kind voice on the guitar feels right at home.
