Mason Via and Hot Trail Mix
Band member Zeb Gambill says he loves the high lonesome sound of classic old-school bluegrass. Hot Trail mix nails that sound with the young strong voice of Mason Via and the other high-class musicians making up Hot Trail Mix. Cach them if you can!
From their website:
Hot Trail Mix is an innovative new Bluegrass band out of the Asheville/Boone NC area. The band has a rowdy youthful vigor that excites audiences of all ages, shapes, and sizes! With a repertoire ranging from straight-and-narrow gospel standards to original ballads about drinking whiskey ’till ya kick the bucket. The band features an all-star cast of convention ribbon winners, including Mason Via (guitar), Zeb Gambill (mandolin), Grayson “Pinky” Tuttle (banjo), Sam Weiss (Caleb Clauder Country Band) on fiddle, and Zachary Smith (of Town Mountain) on bass. Led by Mason Via, a young singer/songwriter and son of award-winning songwriter David Via (Corn Tornado). The band recently recorded a small live album in the Warren Wilson College Library after hours, check it out by clicking the “Bandcamp” link.
