Jackson Grimm is an accomplished and respected multi-instrumentalist and teacher in the Asheville music community. His songs marry folk pop melodies with the lonesome sound of traditional Appalachian music. In a region with a strong music culture, it is no surprise that Grimm's songwriting is representative of his musical birthplace: Asheville, NC. Grimm studied Traditional Music at Warren Wilson College under the tutelage of great players like Wayne Erbsen and Kevin Kehrberg.

Grimm lives in Asheville, North Carolina, and can be found playing solo or around Western North Carolina with bluegrass band, The Bull Moose Party. Audience members can expect a tight and dynamic unit replete with fast picking, harmony singing, and modern stringband swagger. Blending modern original folk music, traditional stringboard music, and bluegrass covers that you’ll sing along with, Jackson Grimm & the Bull Moose Party are esteemed members of Asheville’s traditional music scene.

Jackson Grimm stands out as a true artist who stays true to his roots while pushing the boundaries of the genre in the ever-evolving world of country, bluegrass and old-time music.
