If Alison Krauss has re-varnished bluegrass with a contemporary sheen for the Generation X-ers, The Bankesters are about to make newgrass hip again for the Millenials. Combining elements of traditional bluegrass with bits of country, folk, and gospel, The Bankesters are winning over the hearts of music lovers everywhere. This band features some of the finest lead and harmony vocals anywhere include that of Emily Bankester – the 2012 winner of the IBMA Momentum Award for Vocalist of the Year. The music is all acoustic featuring banjo, guitars, fiddle (sometimes twin fiddles!) mandolin, dobro, and upright bass. For more info on the Bankesters visit: www.thebankesters.com
