VICKIE VAUGHN BAND
September 25
A Western Kentucky native, Vickie Vaughn stomped into Nashville with a fistful of original material and a desire to play bass and sing with the best of them. In 2015, Vaughn released her debut EP under the production of Bluegrass royalty Ronnie McCoury before heading out on the road singing background vocals with Patty Loveless. She has been sighted sharing the stage of the Bluegrass fan favorite festival, ROMP, singing in a trio with fellow Kentuckians, Ricky Skaggs and Patty Loveless. Three Grand Ole Opry appearances later, Vickie now tours with Grammy-nominated Della Mae, who frequents the stage with greats such as Billy Strings and comedians Steve Martin and Martin Short. Led by the production of Sister Sadie’s Deanie Richardson, Vickie will be releasing her debut solo record in 2025. Vickie is also proud to be the 2023 and 2024 International Bluegrass Association’s Bass Player of the Year.
Randy Steele Band
September 26
Randy Steele is more than a highly regarded singer/songwriter and he is more than a great banjo player from Tennessee. He has a viewpoint on the world that is without filters. His lines are poignant, they have meaning and feel. ‘Home is Where the Hardest Part is’ he pines in ‘Mobile Soon’, the Independent Music Association winner for Best Bluegrass Song. ‘Melissa had a baby when she was Seventeen, but the State took him away because his blood wasn’t clean’ begins the ‘Age of Ben’ which caught the attention of American Songwriter Magazine and placed Steele as a Semi-Finalist in Song of the Year Category in 2024. ‘The Extra Mile is a Gravel Road’ from Steele’s latest release, continues this with this trend and is turning heads.
Randy and the High Cold Wind have been turning heads and ears since their inception as a support band for Randy’s songwriter touring. In 2023 the band expanded rapidly into a full on bluegrass jam machine. After a few shows, they found themselves invited to multiple festivals throughout the Southeast US with acts like Greensky Bluegrass, Yonder Mountain String Band, East Nash Grass, and Larry Keel, while Randy began sitting in with bands like Mountain Grass Unit and Andy Frasco.
The band is made up of some of the Southeast’s highest talents including flat pick wizard Brad Clark on guitar. Multiple State, multiple instrumental contest Champion and well known teacher John Boulware on Mandolin and Slim Pickins Bluegrass’ own Justin Hupp on the upright bass. They are playing extensively throughout the Southeast and beyond in 2026, see ya at the show!
