Wilson and Cross, a new bluegrass group hailing from East Tennessee, will take the stage June 26 for the final night of the Nokian Tyres Summer Nights concert series. 

This talented band is a collaboration of members from The Deep River Boys, The Appalachian Stringband, and The Volunteer Skyway Boys, blending their rich musical experiences into an eclectic mix of traditional bluegrass, gospel, folk, western, and jazz, from the early 1900s to the 1970s.

The band includes Johnny Wilson, from Spring City, singing lead and harmony vocals, playing upright bass and guitar, Logan Cross, from Cleveland, singing lead and vocal harmony and playing banjo and fingerstyle guitar. Nate Demaria, from Chattanooga, playing fiddle. Todd Standridge, from Tellico Plains, playing lead guitar and mandolin. Lucas Holder, from Louisville, TN, singing lead and harmony vocals and playing backup and lead guitar, and mandolin.

The show starts at 6:30 p.m. on the Rhea County Courthouse lawn, and food trucks will be available. Bring chairs and blankets and enjoy the finale of the seventh annual Nokian Tyres Summer Nights concert series hosted by the Rhea Heritage Foundation.
