Nashville, Tenn. — Nashville based booking agency New Frontier Touring adds awarding winning, contemporary bluegrass group The Grascals to their roster. The group is in high gear and putting the right people in place as they are under new management this year; NJP Entertainment.

Manager and motivating force, Nick Pellegrino commented, “I am honored to be representing this band. Their accomplishments and accolades in the short time they have been together are astonishing! We already have many exciting things on the horizon for The Grascals. The first of them being our signing with New Frontier Touring for exclusive representation. Paul Lohr and his wonderful team know exactly what it takes to build an act’s business and create a solid touring base that will last for many years to come.”

Paul Lohr, president & owner of New Frontier Touring adds, “We are thrilled to welcome The Grascals to our roster! As two-time Entertainers of the Year, they have a live show that is of the high performance standard that the buyers have come to expect of New Frontier Touring artists!”

Already among the most beloved and acclaimed of bluegrass groups, The Grascals are the 2007 International Bluegrass Music Association’s Entertainers of the Year, first earning the top honor in 2006, only one year after being named Emerging Artist of the Year and winning Song of the Year for “Me and John and Paul.”

Their trademark blend of traditional bluegrass and classic country with more modern elements, delivered with vocal and instrumental intensity and virtuosity, earned them Grammy nominations for their first two critically-acclaimed releases — “The Grascals” and “Long List of Heartaches.”

They have shared the stage with Dolly Parton, Brooks & Dunn, Dierks Bentley, Patty Loveless, Mac Wiseman, J. D. Crowe, Charlie Daniels, Kenny Rogers, Steve Wariner, Vince Gill, the Jordanaires and many others. They are proud to make regular guest appearances on the Grand Ole Opry and have also appeared on Opry Live, The Late, Late Show with Craig Ferguson, CBS Early Show and the TV Guide Channel. “Keep On Walkin,” their third critically acclaimed album debuted #1 on Billboard’s Bluegrass Album Chart and remained #1 for 5 consecutive weeks!
