About Jackson Grimm
Jackson Grimm is an accomplished and respected band leader, multi-instrumentalist and teacher in the Asheville music community. His songs marry folk pop melodies with the lonesome sound of traditional Appalachian music. Grimm can be found performing under his own name, as well as a key member of bands such as Holler Choir, Susto Stringband, Old Sap, Hannah Kaminer & the Wistfuls. In a region with a strong music culture, it is no surprise that Grimm's songwriting is representative of his musical birthplace: Asheville, NC. Grimm studied Traditional Music at Warren Wilson College under the tutelage of great players like Wayne Erbsen and Kevin Kehrberg.
Grimm won the 2025 LEAF Songwriting competition and has been a 2 year finalist for Songwriter Serenade. He has shared the stage with and opened up for acts such as Molly Tuttle, Sierra Ferrell, Shadowgrass, the Wilder Flower, Arlo Guthrie, Ordinary Elephant, Nathan Evans Fox, and more.
