The Asheville Bluegrass Band LIVE at Foundy Fest in Asheville, NC 10/3/26

The ASHEVILLE BLUEGRASS BAND Foundy Fest delivered an unforgettable night of high-energy roots music on October 3, 2026, bringing a powerful celebration of Appalachian grit and resilience to Foundy Street in Asheville, North Carolina’s River Arts District. The absolute highlight of this one-night-only event was the performance by the Asheville Bluegrass Band. Far from an ordinary group, this was an all-star bluegrass supergroup packed with world-class talent, featuring: Mike Bont and Anders Beck of Greensky Bluegrass Jason Carter (the acclaimed Nashville-based fiddle player from The Del McCoury Band and The Travelin' McCourys) Jon Stickley of the Jon Stickley Trio, and Jon Stickley Ashgrass Band Thomas Cassell (National Mandolin Champion) Christian Ferri (upright bass from The Greenliners, the High Top Boys, Jon Stickley Ashgrass Band, and Taste - a Phish tribute band) This powerhouse ensemble joined forces for an exclusive evening, blending traditional hard-driving bluegrass with expansive jamgrass improvisation. Organized by the female-led Leona Wild Collective, the festival also featured phenomenal sets from Holler Choir and The Local Honeys. It served as a massive community triumph and a mutual aid benefit supporting Western North Carolina’s local music scene and cultural recovery. @mcsage @bontzilla @andersdobro @jonstickleytrio @thomasandrewcassell @jasoncarterfiddle @foundy.fest Instagram @music.asheville #bluegrass #foundyfest #musicasheville #asheville #newgrass #ashevillebluegrassband If you enjoyed the video, please Like, Comment, and Subscribe for more live music coverage! -------------------------- Music Asheville explores the bluegrass, jamgrass and newgrass scene in and around Asheville, NC, also Americana, folk, blues, jazz and jam bands.
