The Concert Hall has an impressive lineup beginning March 8 with "Classgrass" (classical bluegrass or bluegrass with class), the hot duo of Mike Marshall, virtuoso on mandolin, guitar and fiddle, and Edgar Meyer, a Grammy Award-winning genius whose stand-up bass swings from bluegrass to classical to jazz with remarkable ease. Together, they take audiences on an enthralling ride.
Up next on March 14 is the Canadian folk trio The Wailin' Jennys, which began as a one-time-only grouping. Musical chemistry and audience response quickly turned them into an ongoing band. The organic, professional honesty of the Jennys' craftsmanship comes through with every strum and pick.

A celebration of the songwriters, Nashville Chicks with Hits features three of Nashville's top female songwriters.
