Bio Like the river flowing through their hometown of Greenville, South Carolina, Reedy River String Band carves a lively channel through progressive newgrass, just downstream from the headwaters of traditional bluegrass. On the heels of their second European tour, the band flew home to a run of US shows and festivals, returning to the Earl Scruggs Music Festival and debuting at the Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion in support of their new full-length release, Woodland Drifters. The new release boasts 14 songs: 13 originals and a surprising take on Pink Floyd’s “Comfortably Numb.” All three members—Sterling Waite (multi-instrumentalist), Rush Morgan (guitar), and Mark Dye (upright bass)—contribute as songwriters and lead singers. Acoustic masters, like IBMA-winner Scott Vestal (banjo), Zach Carter (banjo), and Adam Bachman (dobro), lend their talents to expand the core trio’s sonic palette and directional stylings. These guest musicians further elevate Woodland Drifters into a spirited, genre-blending release spotlighting the foot-stomping, good-time festival vibes Reedy River String Band is known for. The band is planning a third European tour in June 2026 and a run of shows in Colorado in October. Reedy River String Band is looking forward to continued studio and live collaborations—so stay tuned! Weekend Live Music Highland Brewing’s weekend live music series showcases incredible local talent, regional acts and national touring bands from across the East Coast and beyond. Free and open to all ages (unless noted otherwise), it’s the perfect excuse to gather your crew, listen and vibe to a wide range of genres including soul, bluegrass, acoustic, country, folk and more. Live music typically takes place on our scenic Meadow stage. Shows are rain or shine, if the weather doesn’t cooperate and we have time to move inside, the band will play in the Taproom where there’s still plenty of room to boogie. Chairs, blankets and well-behaved, leashed pets are welcome in the Meadow. Please note that coolers and outside alcohol are not permitted on the premises.
