  • Bio

    BALLHOG! Nashville’s music community is cultivating an All-star ensemble of singer-songwriters and instrumentalists playing original music based in the traditions of bluegrass, Americana, rock, folk, country and jazz. Ballhog! is finding its diverse musical niche by featuring bluegrass instruments and gang vocals accompanied by horns and drums. The seven-piece band formed in 2000 cut its teeth in the bars of Music City and continues to play in Nashville when not traveling to weekend shows and festivals throughout the southeast. The band’s strength lies in well-thought-out musical arrangements, purposeful lyrics and contagious onstage enthusiasm. Ballhog! has an independently produced eponymous CD now available online at CDBaby.com. Also available on iTunes. <[iframe] name="ifmCalendar" id="ifmCalendar" frameborder="no" src="http://www.sonicbids.com/epk/calendar_view.asp?epk_id=181918&dates_to_show=60" width="500" height="3000">.. .............. ..........View Ballhog!'s EPK.. ....
