Speaking of The Grascals:
“I am so proud of The Grascals. They are one of the best bluegrass bands I’ve ever heard. They are all so very talented as vocalists and instrumentalists. Their new CD is one of the greatest albums I’ve ever listened to, and the fact it’s their first just tells you how talented they really are. I was very proud to get to sing on ‘Viva Las Vegas’ with them. They have been opening my shows for a while and people just love ‘em.”
Dolly Parton
“I have known most of the members of the band for several years and find them to be both delightful and very talented individuals. It is great to hear such talented musicians together. Grascals, you certainly recorded a great one and I wish you the best of luck with it. You are deserving of all the praise and great press reviews you have received on your first recording together.”
Earl Scruggs
“The Grascals-- to me they should be called the “MASTERCALS,” as I feel that each of these guys is a master in his own right. Folks, these boys are the REAL thing.”
Mac Wiseman
“…one of my favorite new bands of any genre of music.”
Dierks Bentley
“Anybody that knows music, especially bluegrass music, should check out The Grascals. They’re all great musicians, and the best vocalists I’ve ever heard. It’s about time they made an album.”
