TrueGrass has been performing at many venues in the Virginia, Maryland, North Carolina and East Tennessee areas. TrueGrass incorporates musicians with many years of experience that bring a blend of traditional bluegrass alive that we all grew up with.

Sugar Run began as the husband and wife team of Mike (banjo, guitar and vocals) and Bonnie Johnson (bass fiddle and vocals), and has grown to include Geoff White on fiddle and vocals, and Stanley Asbury on the rhythm and flat-pickin' style guitar and vocals. All of them play in or with other groups in the region, as well.
