The Plate Scrapers in front of schoolbus

The Plate Scrapers are a band that strives to maintain a healthy equilibrium between their diverse musical backgrounds and the traditional Appalachian sounds, The Plate Scrapers have wowed audiences across the entire spectrum. This progressively minded Bluegrass act truly feels at home on any stage. They’ve provided direct support for bluegrass legends such as The Seldom Scene, Frank Solivan and Dirty Kitchen, and Larry Keel. On the other side of that coin, they aren’t afraid to get weird at a late night festival slot and have become well known for their tastefully balanced and refreshingly diverse song-writing. Catch their live show and you’ll be sure to receive a full helping of hard-driving bluegrass favorites and heart-wrenching country ballads. Dig into their recorded originals, however, and you’ll find tracks ranging from thoughtful folk lyricism to gritty tales of harrowing adventure. 

Clendenen Brothers

Nate Clendenen of the Clendenen Brothers is an American singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and performer from the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Steeped in influences all across the board, his generational roots extend deep into Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains, while his blood runs thick with the saltwater of his tidal home. Growing up on large parts of bluegrass, rock, country, reggae and blues, Nate now performs in several different outfits drawing on that spectrum.
