Nirvani is the most authentic and electrifying tribute band to the legendary grunge pioneers, Nirvana. Known for their accurate recreation of the raw, high-energy performances that made Kurt Cobain and company a cultural phenomenon, Nirvani has been selling out venues across the country. From the iconic, distorted guitar riffs to the anguished screams and rebellious spirit, Nirvani brings the music of Nirvana to life in a way that feels as powerful and visceral as it did in the 90s.

Nirvani’s live shows are a high-octane journey through all the hits and deep cuts that defined Nirvana’s catalog. With a stage presence that channels the chaotic energy of the original band, they deliver an unforgettable experience, playing fan favorites like “Smells Like Teen Spirit,” “Come As You Are,” and “Heart-Shaped Box,” alongside deeper tracks that true Nirvana fans will love. Their wild stage presence, combined with instrument-smashing finales, ensures no two shows are ever the same.

When their instrumental prowess earned them a vast following on social media, childhood friends turned all-star act Shadowgrass found sudden success. But as a young band, the expectations that went along with a large audience proved daunting. “We felt a lot of pressure to make something uniquely us, because we had such a big following, and we felt that they deserved more than what we had given them as of yet.” explains the band. The group dug deep into their own musicality, and tried to block out the noise for their sophomore release All That Will (release date: Oct 4, 2024). “It turned out that dropping those self-imposed expectations and just writing/making music for our own enjoyment was the key to finding our collective voice and making a record we are all proud of.”

Shadowgrass began in 2014 when Clay Russell (Banjo), Luke Morris (Mandolin), Kyser George (Guitar) were jamming at the Grayson County Fiddler’s Convention in Elk Creek, VA. Sometime before their first real show, the name Shadowgrass was suggested simply because they thought it sounded “cool”. Kyser, Clay, and Luke were 9, 13, and 14 years old at the time. Now in their early twenties, their influences and listening habits have changed drastically, but the group has always grown in the same direction musically. They have welcomed fiddle player Madison Morris, who also lends vocals and songwriting prowess, and bass player Evan Campfield. Luke and Madison trade off lead vocals, and harmonies seamlessly with one another. Their commitment to and keen interest in songwriting brings additional dimensions to the band, allowing the group to appeal to listeners outside of the expected jam-band community.

As a very young band that has already been playing together for a decade, Shadowgrass has a unique bond. “We’ve grown up together and have watched each other evolve into the people we are today”, they say. “It sounds cliche but we definitely act more like siblings than bandmates”. On All That Will, the group explores themes of anxiety and uncertainty, and questioning the people they want to become. Luckily, they’ve had each other to share these experiences with, and it seems that their companionship has only pushed their artistic and musical abilities to new heights.
