Heavy Nettles - Fiery, smokin' hot Bluegrass

Heavy Nettles is a boundary-pushing acoustic trio from The Shires of Vermont redefining what bluegrass can be. Blending tight three-part harmonies, virtuosic picking, and fearless improvisation, they move seamlessly between bluegrass, hot jazz, folk, and jam-grass - a sound they like to call “Black Hole Bluegrass” and “Prairie Jazz.”

At the heart of Heavy Nettles is a deep respect for tradition paired with an appetite for exploration. Their music is rooted in classic string-band instrumentation with Marc Edwards on Guitar & the lead creative force, Mandolin Hank a mandolin virtuoso and Mowgli Giannitti a double bass powerhouse, yet their arrangements stretch outward with surprising turns, rhythmic drive, and playful spontaneity. The result is music that feels both timeless and thrillingly alive.

Equally at home on festival stages and in intimate listening rooms, Heavy Nettles brings warmth, humor, and remarkable musicianship to every performance. Their shows are dynamic, engaging, and full of the kind of musical chemistry that only comes from years of collaboration.

For audiences who love bluegrass but crave something unexpected, Heavy Nettles delivers an unforgettable live experience — adventurous, soulful, and irresistibly fun.
