Thomas Cassell and Nick Fallon at The Side Door
Originally from the sacred bluegrass mountains of southwestern Virginia, Thomas Cassell stands among the top tier of modern bluegrass musicians. A member of the Wood Box Heroes, he’s made numerous Grand Ole Opry appearances, in addition to building an accomplished history as a sideman with artists such as Trey Hensley, Nefesh Mountain, Billy Strings, Bryan Sutton, and more.
Cassell’s most recent album release, Guitar Collection (2026), highlights an impressive roster of collaborators with each of its tracks featuring a different guest artist, including Tim Stafford, Trey Hensley, Nick Fallon, and more.
Nick Fallon is a progressive bluegrass guitarist, singer, and songwriter from Floyd, Virginia, now making his mark in Nashville’s vibrant acoustic scene, having toured extensively across the U.S. and internationally as a member of the acclaimed Tray Wellington Band and with the genre- blurring comedy-grass outfit, The Cleverlys.
Together, Thomas Cassell & Nick Fallon offer audiences a listening experience that feels at once deeply rooted and refreshingly modern – equal parts intimate and virtuosic – showcasing just how expansive contemporary bluegrass can be.
