To close out the Brasstown Community Center 2023 Summer Concert Series we have brought back a fan favorite “Just Us” playing on Saturday Aug. 24 .
This is an exciting band based out of East Tennessee that was formed in September of 2006 and features a unique blend of bluegrass, country and contemporary bluegrass.
Stacy Wilson plays guitar and sings lead. He is also an accomplished banjo, mandolin and bass player. Teresa Wilson plays bass and sings tenor. Blake Atkins is Stacy and Teresa’s son and he plays banjo and sings harmony vocals. He started playing bass at 13 and joined the band in 2009 playing rhythm guitar and singing harmony vocals. Brent Womac is the newest member of the band and plays lead guitar. Womac comes from a blues background and can play any style of music well.
