BIO:
"It all started in Athens, Georgia in 2001 during a most peculiar spell when 5 or 6 bluegrass bands circulated the town. Athens, which had spawned the B-52s, REM, Widespread Panic, and which at the time boasted hundreds of pop, rock, indie, and punk bands now was the home to a competing minority of bluegrass players. From this small scene emerged only one bluegrass band that would take their act out of town, first finding some national acclaim as finalists at the Telluride Bluegrass competition in 2002, 3, & 4- including 2nd place in 2004. In fact, in 2003 the band’s first album, Chaff Harvest was sponsored by Miller Light using prize awards from a local Battle of the Bands. The Packway Handle Band was on a roll and has continued to rack up a number of local awards over the next few years- even through the present.
