Amazing Group!

Jackson Grimm and the Bull Moose Party was everything we hoped it would be and more. Jackson was the perfect emcee, the music was wonderful, and the group members could not have been nicer or more accommodating. This is a very professional bluegrass group, and it has my highest recommendation!

Great music, great vibe

I had Jackson and his band out to play a cider making party at my farm. They really helped cultivate the right atmosphere for my gathering and I can’t recommend working with them enough! The music was great, they were super professional, and fun to work with.
I look forward to working with them again.

Fabulous Music, Fun Folks, and 100% Professional

Jackson and his band sounded fantastic and were clearly well-rehearsed and there to make sure our guests had a good time. He was incredibly communicative and professional throughout our interactions and is truly a talented musician and performer. Not only did they put on a great show with minimal assistance/input from me and my team, but they also drew a crowd and increased business day-of since they're well known in the area. 10/10 would recommend - I will be booking them again.

What to expect

Audiences can expect to see engaging and dynamic bluegrass and string band music. Toe tapping to familiar songs, singing along with party classics, and dancing to some upbeat fiddle tunes are all going to occur. We bring joy and energy at a level appropriate for the specific event wherever we go. We are comfortable being the center of attention just as much as we are comfortable curating an ambience of background, easy listening material.

About

His songs marry folk pop melodies with the lonesome sound of traditional Appalachian music. In a region with a strong music culture, it is no surprise that Grimm's songwriting is representative of his musical birthplace: Asheville, NC. Grimm studied Traditional Music at Warren Wilson College under the tutelage of great players like Wayne Erbsen and Kevin Kehrberg.

Grimm lives in Asheville, North Carolina, and can be found playing solo or around Western North Carolina with bluegrass band, The Bull Moose Party. Audience members can expect a tight and dynamic unit replete with fast picking, harmony singing, and modern stringband swagger. Blending modern original folk music, traditional stringboard music, and bluegrass covers that you’ll sing along with, Jackson Grimm & the Bull Moose Party are esteemed members of Asheville’s traditional music scene.

Jackson Grimm stands out as a true artist who stays true to his roots while pushing the boundaries of the genre in the ever-evolving world of country, bluegrass and old-time music.
