Jacques Bourgeois’ own group, 1st Time Around brings together some of the Carolinas’ most proficient young Bluegrass musicians for a fresh take on the classics, alongside some brand-new original songs. Featuring Jacques Bourgeois on fiddle, Elijah Ellenburg on bass, JonPaul Sepulveda on guitar, Judson Stone on mandolin, and Henry Strid on banjo, the band delivers virtuosic musicianship, rock-solid grooves, powerful vocals, and songs that capture the feel of the early generations, while taking strong inspiration from jazz, rock, and newgrass.
