Who Are The Grascals?

The Grascals came together in Nashville in the mid-2000s as a group of mainly veteran musicians, quickly making an impact with their self-titled 2005 debut and a hit single, Me And John And Paul. The band, featuring Terry Eldredge, Jamie Johnson and Terry Smith sharing lead and harmony vocal duties, went on to win the International Bluegrass Music Association's Entertainer of the Year award two years running, cementing their status among the top acts in contemporary bluegrass.

About Keep On Walkin'

Recorded with the band's characteristic blend of newly written material and carefully chosen covers, Keep On Walkin' pulls from songwriters across Nashville and beyond, alongside traditional bluegrass standards from the Osborne Brothers, Flatt & Scruggs and Jimmy Martin. Fiddler Jeremy Abshire, newly joined from Dale Ann Bradley's band, features throughout, while guitarist Chris McDaris draws particular praise for his playing on Today I Started Loving You Again and The Only Daddy That'll Walk The Line. The band's cover of Flatt & Scruggs' Rollin' In My Sweet Baby's Arms was reportedly played directly for Earl Scruggs himself, putting a smile on his face, while the album also features a guest vocal appearance from Vince Gill and closes with a rendition of the bluegrass gospel standard Farther Along.
