SUMMARY:TANASI at The Down Home - Album Release Party
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating the release of their debut album\, out May 8 – we are excited to welcome TANASI!\nTANASI is a worldgrass trio based in Asheville\, North Carolina\, channeling global folk traditions through the drive\, textures\, and close harmonies of an Appalachian string band. With Billy Cardine on dobro and slide instruments\, Anya Hinkle on vocals and guitar\, and Mary Lucey on vocals\, upright bass\, and clawhammer banjo\, the group unites three widely acclaimed roots artists whose combined careers span decades of touring\, recording\, and cross-cultural exchange. Their music follows the invisible threads that connect cultures\, landscapes\, and hearts—from Nepal’s high plateaus and South African villages to the mountains of Appalachia—celebrating the shared human rhythms that surface wherever people gather to sing\, dance\, grieve\, and love.\nThe members of TANASI have appeared on iconic stages including Carnegie Hall\, the Kennedy Center\, and the Ryman Auditorium\, and at leading festivals such as Bonnaroo\, MerleFest\, Grey Fox\, RockyGrass\, and the Earl Scruggs Music Festival\, alongside performances across Europe and Asia. Cardine is recognized as a pioneering voice in modern slide work\, collaborating with artists including John Paul Jones\, Edgar Meyer\, Jerry Douglas\, and Debashish Bhattacharya. Lucey helped define contemporary string band music through The Biscuit Burners and Uncle Earl\, while Hinkle is an award-winning songwriter with internationally celebrated solo releases
