Back By Popular Demand!
With their roots based in bluegrass, celtic, and jazz, Cherryholmes has stormed to the top of the music world since winning the 2005 IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Award for Entertainer of the Year. Their self-titled debut album on Skaggs Family Records in 2006 received a Grammy nomination for Best Bluegrass Album, and their second Grammy-nominated album “Black and White” came in at No. 1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Album Chart. Cherryholmes’ latest album, “Don’t Believe” garnered them their third and fourth Grammy nominations for Best Bluegrass Album, and more, crossed them over into the Best Country Instrumental Performance category for the track, “Sumatra.”
Cherryholmes hits the stage with hard-driving instrumental virtuosity and explosive vocal harmonies, featuring a variety of original song stylings, and high-energy dancing. It’s a look and sound that can only be described as “Cherryholmes.”
