Description:
The Radford University College of Visual & Performing Arts presents The Jason Carter Band in concert with special guests Denim and Plaid on Saturday, September 19, 2026 at the Artis Center for Adaptive Innovation and Creativity on the campus of Radford University.

Experience an unforgettable evening of world-class bluegrass when Grammy Award-winning fiddler Jason Carter takes the stage at the Main Stage Theatre in the Artis Center. Honored with three Grammy Awards and five IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year awards, Carter has shared his remarkable talent with artists ranging from Ricky Skaggs and Vince Gill to Steve Earle and Dierks Bentley. Now, with his acclaimed solo work and recent album Lowdown Hoedown, Carter brings his signature virtuosity, deep Appalachian roots, and captivating stage presence to Radford for a night of extraordinary musicianship that bluegrass fans won’t want to miss.

Jason Carter continues to pour all he has back into bluegrass. For thirty years, he has been the fiddle player for the Del McCoury Band—the most awarded group in bluegrass history. He’s won three Grammy awards, including 2018’s “Best Bluegrass Album” with the Travelin’ McCourys, of which he is a founding member. And he’s taken home five IBMAs for “Fiddle Player of the Year,” a staggering number that isn’t quite so crazy once you realize just how many bluegrass greats have turned to Carter for collaboration.

As a fiddler, Carter has been featured on albums by Steve Earle, Ricky Skaggs, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels, Vince Gill, Asleep at the Wheel, and many more, all in addition to his tireless touring and recording with Del as well as the Travelin’ McCourys. On Carter’s forthcoming solo album, Lowdown Hoedown, listeners may recognize instrumental contributions from such legends as Jerry Douglas or Sam Bush alongside vocals from young trailblazers like Sarah Jarosz or Billy Strings. This time, though, Carter is singing lead.
