THE LINEUP

The Kody Norris Show

Whatever you do, don't call The Kody Norris Show 'retro'.

Because while the reigning SPBGMA Entertainers of the Year are known for the rhinestones that shine from their lapels and the fringe that hangs from their collars seem to conjure up memories of times gone by, The Kody Norris Show are very much directing their gaze forever forward.

Now, more than ever before.

The talented group, made up of frontman Kody Norris, Josiah Tyree, Mary Rachel Nalley-Norris, and Charlie Lowman, finds themselves with a growing legion of fans craving the comfort that comes from their retro look, but equally craving dynamic instrumentation and thought-provoking lyrics – all of which can be heard throughout their epic new album Rhinestone Revival.

The Grass Messengers 

Formed in 2020 to satisfy New York City's urge for tight harmonies in Bluegrass music. The Grass Messengers combine for over 40 years collectively of professional bluegrass experience, and feature 3 of NYC'S finest musicians. Seattle native two-time Grammy nominee Chris Luquette(Dirty Kitchen), has teamed up with banjo player Ellery Marshall, and guitarist Christian Apuzzo. Ellery hails from LA and has lived in NYC nearly 20 years. His playing echoes the greats from Earl Scruggs to Tom Adams. Long Island native Christian Apuzzo is one of the finest tenor singers in bluegrass music. A fine flatpicker, he is an instructor at Jalopy school of music in Brooklyn, and plays with the great band The City Pickers.  

Together they've joined forces to present fine harmonies with slick pickin'. They host regular Thursday bluegrass sessions, and can be seen at music venues in Manhattan's East Village and Upper West Side."
