Grasstowne hires a bass player
And then they were five…
Alan Bibey called to let us know that Grasstowne has finished the year with a full complement of pickers, having just brought Lee Sawyer on to play bass. He joins Alan on mandolin, Steve Gulley on guitar, Phil Leadbetter on resophonic guitar and Jason Davis on banjo in this new bluegrass startup.
Lee had performed previously with The Larry Stephenson Band, and hails from Lexington, NC.
