Willow & Jesse- 9.14.24
Genre-bending husband-wife duo Willow and Jesse blaze a new path for the banjo, masterfully navigating a diversity of influences and unique perspectives with rich vocal harmonies, thrilling improvisations, and engaging stage presence.
At twenty-three years old, Willow Osborne is already a veteran of the Smoky Mountains' music scene. With fifteen years of stage experience since her debut at Dollywood at eight, Willow is a protégé of world-class banjoist Gary "Biscuit" Davis, a multi-award winning banjoist who played for Dolly Parton for over twenty years.
Willow was a staple banjoist and vocalist at the Country Tonite Theater for nine years and the Medora Musical in North Dakota for two years. She represented Tennessee in the IMAX documentary "America's Musical Journey" and has shared the stage with the likes of Dolly Parton, Aloe Blacc, Daniel Donato, Joscho Stephan, and Grace Bowers, among countless others.
Twenty-three-year-old multi-instrumentalist Jesse Blue Eads has forged his own career path as an artist in the truest sense. While most widely known as east Tennessee’s up-and-coming innovator of jazz and progressive music on the five-string banjo, most of Jesse’s career was spent as a versatile and charismatic bassist and guitarist in Los Angeles before moving to Pigeon Forge in 2021.
Jesse’s reputation for marrying complex and diverse musical ideas with a strong sense of soul and intuition has led him to play multiple instruments on stage with titans such as Joe Craven (Jerry Garcia, David Grisman), Kory Caudill (Tyler Childers, Justin Moore), Chris Blue (The Voice), and bluegrass band Water Tower. He has also worked extensively as a mandolinist, vocalist, producer, and keyboardist.
