The Blue Ridge Music Center presents Nick Dumas and Branchline in concert.
BRMC Indoor Theater - limited seating.
Nick grew up in Brier, Washington, and was introduced to bluegrass music at a very young age by his dobro-playing grandfather. Nick soon began taking private fiddle lessons and then joined the family band The Three Generations, formed by his grandfather, his mother and his aunt. After learning to play mandolin, guitar and banjo and to sing lead and harmony vocals, Nick became a co-founder of the popular Northwest-based bluegrass band Northern Departure. In 2015, Nick was very pleased to relocate to Chicago to become the new Special Consensus mandolin player. He made his Special C recording debut on the 2016 Compass Records band release “Long I Ride,” which received the 2016 International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA) Instrumental Recorded Performance of the Year Award for the tune “Fireball.” Nick also appeared on the 2018 Compass Records band release “Rivers And Roads” that won two IBMA awards (one for Album of the Year) and a GRAMMY nomination for Best Bluegrass Album. In late 2019, Nick released his first solo recording called "Story of a Beautiful Life".
For this tour, Nick will be joined by an incredible lineup of musicians from all over the US, and one from Canada consisting of Carley Arrowood on fiddle, Daniel Thrailkill on guitar, Will McSeveney on banjo, Michael Kilby on dobro, Andrew Knapp on bass, and myself on mandolin and lead vocals.
