A three-time Grammy winner and six-time IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year, Carter is no stranger to the spotlight. Eastern Kentucky native Jason Carter has been a powerhouse in bluegrass, his fiery fiddle playing defining the genre’s modern sound. Now, after years of sharing the stage with Del McCoury and receiving praise on The Country Music Highway alongside legends like Loretta Lynn and Chris Stapleton, he’s stepping forward with his own project, The Jason Carter Band, and carving out his path as a frontman.
