Founded in 2014, Country Gongbang is South Korea’s first and only bluegrass band, pioneering a distinctive blend of contemporary bluegrass and K-pop sentiments. Singing in both English and Korean, they craft music that bridges cultural boundaries, carving a unique space in the global music scene.
In 2023, Country Gongbang received the prestigious International Band Performance Grant from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA), recognizing their groundbreaking artistry. This honor led to their historic 2024 US tour, where they performed at renowned venues and festivals, including the legendary Grand Ole Opry in Nashville—marking the first-ever Korean band to grace its iconic stage.
East Tennessee singer songwriter Maddie McCullough will be opening the show.
