Tennessee Jed Duo

A soul-shaking singer with thoughtful, often humorous lyrics and the acoustic guitar chops to back them up, “Tennessee Jed” Fisher blends multiple genres into his own unique Americana/Newgrass sound. His show consists of a mix of high energy original songs as well as a variety of acoustic cover songs in various genres. Jed has recorded and/or performed with many high-profile artists including multiple Grammy winners and nominees, as well as members and alum of Steep Canyon Rangers, Sam Bush Band, Ricky Skaggs & Kentucky Thunder, Infamous Stringdusters, Ben Folds Five, Leftover Salmon, Che Apalache, Dailey & Vincent, Mountain Heart, Town Mountain, Songs From the Road Band, Jon Stickley Trio, The Mantras, Yo Mama’s Big Fat Booty Band, Underhill Rose, and The Waybacks, many of whom are veterans of the Asheville music scene. Originally from Tennessee, Jed now makes his home in the western NC mountains, drawing inspiration from the local scenery and musical heritage. Having already released three full-length albums and one EP, Jed plans to reveal an album of solo acoustic material recorded in the Arizona desert using solar power called The Soular Sessions later this year. TN Jed’s music has been featured in TV shows, Duck Dynasty and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Wake Up Call, and his most recent record, Pimpgrass, was recorded in Nashville with producer Scott Vestal, recipient of the 2017 Steve Martin Prize for Excellence in Banjo and Bluegrass. The Tennessee Jed Duo features multi-instrumentalist, Blake Vance on mandolin and guitar.
