Appalachian Trail is a union of seasoned and innovative singers, songwriters, and musicians from Northeast Tennessee. Taking their name from the famous Appalachian hiking trail, the group was formed in 1984 — and more than 40 years later, the band is still burning new trails in the bluegrass world. While the lineup has changed over the years, Appalachian Trail has helped cultivate the early careers of artists including Adam Steffey, John Bowman, and Becky Buller.

Known for smooth, polished harmonies and strong original songwriting, the band has toured across the U.S. and internationally — including Ireland, Scotland, and England.
