The band has played numerous festivals and events throughout the Chattanooga area since its formation last year. The trio consists of August Bruce (fiddle, guitar, and vocals), Dean Arnold (mandolin, banjo, guitar, and vocals), and Eric Bruce (upright bass and vocals). The Barefoot Nellie trio plays what band members refer to as “smooth grass,” revealing a broad range of influences from Bill Monroe to swing jazz.
