FreshGrass Awards

Congratulations to all our 2023 finalists and winners! See below for the final results and more information about each artist/band. Stay tuned around spring for the opening of 2024 application!

The FreshGrass Awards celebrate and reward emerging artists who offer innovative interpretations of bluegrass and roots music traditions and take place each year at the Freshgrass Festival in North Adams, MA. With multiple categories and prizes totaling more than $20,000 cash each year — plus studio time at Compass Records for the Band winner — we’re proud that our awards are the most ambitious of their kind.
