East Nash Grass and The Cleverlys to Perform at Hempstead Hall
Hope, AR - Hempstead Hall presents East Nash Grass and The Cleverlys live in concert on November 3, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. Break out your banjos and grab your fiddles because we’re bringing you a night of high-energy bluegrass music that will have you toe-tapping and knee-slapping all night long. You won’t want to miss the electrifying performances by East Nash Grass and The Cleverlys, two of the hottest names in
bluegrass today. So come on down to Hempstead Hall on November 3 at 7:00 p.m. and get ready for a night of good old-fashioned fun. As seen on The Grand Ole Opry and Ryman Auditorium stages, The Cleverlys and East Nash Grass are an ever-growing sensation in the music scene of Nashville, Tennessee. Both bands are steadily growing in popularity across the country as they continue to book shows nationwide. Although members of each band have worked together in the
past, this will be the first co-billed show featuring East Nash Grass and The Cleverlys together and Hempstead Hall’s first co-billed show to host! After ten years of operation, Hempstead Hall has seen the likes of Sara Evans, Trace Atkins, The Temptations, The Plain White T’s, and many more, but never hosted a concert featuring a genre Arkansas is known for—bluegrass! The Cleverlys
The Cleverlys are a one-of-a-kind, unique comedy and music experience. From the groups’ humble beginnings in the Ozark Mountains to currently headlining festivals and PACs nationwide, even performing regularly on the coveted Grand Ole Opry stage. One thing is certain, there is no other show like this out there. Dr. Digger is the master churner of all things buttery and smooth. “His comedy is a hybrid of Homer and Jethro and the office,” said Rolling Stone Magazine.
“If Dolly Parton, Earl Scruggs, and Spinal Tap spawned a litter of puppies, it would be The Cleverlys,” says the New York Times. “The group has evolved over the years, and the comedy and musicality is the best it’s ever been. Our show is now on the top shelf,” says Digger Cleverly. The group is composed of Dr. Digger, his nephews Ricky Lloyd, DVD, Haggis, and his youngest brother, Wasper. This group is a master class of comedic timing, showmanship, and
world-class musicianship. East Nash Grass An ensemble of standout players from a city known for the quality of its musicians, East Nash Grass came by its name and reputation honestly, honing their performance chops night after night on a tiny stage on Music City’s east side. Even now, having played many of the biggest stages in bluegrass, East Nash Grass can still be found performing
in that same east-side bar every Monday night. They quickly became one of the top young bands in bluegrass music, whose members have been highly sought-after as side musicians for the genre’s top stars and hottest bands. Today, whether it’s bluegrass Monday at Dee’s or the hallowed stage of the Ryman Auditorium, East Nash Grass brings swagger, staggering abilities, and high energy to every performance. Bluegrass music tends to fall on a spectrum. On one end is the rough-and-tumble, high-
energy style that the genre’s pioneers exemplified. On the other is a highly polished studio-ready approach in which each note is executed with clinical perfection. It’s not easy to balance such precision while being musically joyful and in the moment, but East Nash Grass does it, staking their position squarely in the middle of this spectrum, executing at the highest levels of proficiency with a sense of ease and humor that only comes from hundreds of hours making music together.
The co-billed show will occur on Friday, November 3, 2023, at 7:00 p.m. at Hempstead Hall on the University of Arkansas Hope-Texarkana, Hope campus. Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HempsteadHall Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hempstead_hall/ Website: https://www.hempsteadhall.com
