Tanasi is a worldgrass trio rooted in Appalachian string band tradition, moving freely and respectfully through global musical landscapes. Featuring the pioneering slide work of Billy Cardine alongside the luminous, tightly interwoven harmonies of Anya Hinkle on guitar and Mary Lucey on clawhammer banjo and stand-up bass, the trio creates music shaped not by the boundaries of genre but by decades of listening, travel, and shared experience. Live, the result is an adventurous, deeply rooted performance that draws audiences into a true musical conversation.
Members of Tanasi have appeared on some of the world’s most revered stages, including Carnegie Hall, the Kennedy Center, and the Ryman Auditorium, and have toured extensively throughout the U.S., Europe, and Asia. Their individual work has been praised by outlets including No Depression, PopMatters, Americana UK, and NPR-affiliated programs.
As a trio, they have played major festivals including Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival, Earl Scruggs Music Festival, RockyGrass, Moab Folk Festival, and Richmond Folk Festival, and headlined roots festivals across Scandinavia and Europe. In 2025, the trio was named a recipient of the National Endowment for the Arts USArtists International Grant, recognizing their commitment to meaningful cross-cultural artistic collaboration. In 2026, they released their debut album to wide acclaim and had a live performance on NPR’s prestigious Mountain Stage.
