Description:
The Floyd Country Store presents the Season 10 Premiere of The Floyd Radio Show with hosts Andrew Small & Ashlee Watkins and special guests Tray Wellington Band and The Red Herrings on Saturday, November 6, 2021.
Tray Wellington Band is a high energy acoustic Newgrass group led by banjo virtuoso, and multi-time IBMA Award winner, and 2019 Momentum Instrumentalist of the year Tray Wellington.
This group pushes the bounds of bluegrass music, incorporating Bossa Nova, Jazz, and Blues elements, to their originals to create a unique, new exciting sound, as well as pay tribute to their Bluegrass heroes before them. They have opened for a number of premiere artists in bluegrass including Dan Tyminski, and Joe Mullins.
