The Contenders are coming to The Barn
More Barn Concerts Proudly Presents The Contenders on Thurs., April 13, at The Barn at Reynolda Village.
The Contenders is a two-man band whose music is an amalgam of classic country, folk, and rootsy rock and roll. The group was formed in 2013 by singer and songwriter Jay Nash. Nash was at home in Vermont shortly after wrapping up a tour when he began thinking about the many musicians he’d come to know, some of whom stuck to playing music despite a lack of larger commercial success.
