Since its informal beginning several years ago, New River Line continues to evolve and incorporate music which is influenced by many of the founding traditional bluegrass and gospel bands. The band has won multiple awards in band and instrumental competitions. The Woodlawn, Va. based band is passionate about producing music that incorporates both gospel, traditional, and contemporary bluegrass music. The band consists of Travis Branch, Cody McGrady, Brad Bartley, Jon Faries, and Jordan Blevins.
