Chatham County Line
About
For over two decades, Chatham County Line have been redefining the boundaries of bluegrass and Americana. Formed in Raleigh, North Carolina, the band built a devoted following through their genre-bending live performances before breaking out internationally with their 2003 self-titled debut.
Since then, they’ve released a string of critically acclaimed albums, topped the Billboard Bluegrass chart four times, and collaborated with artists like Judy Collins, Sharon Van Etten, and Jonas Fjeld. Along the way, they’ve shared stages with legends including Guy Clark, Lyle Lovett, Steve Martin & Martin Short, and The Avett Brothers. NPR calls them “a bridge between bluegrass traditions and a fresh interpretation of those influences,” while others have praised their timeless songwriting, powerful melodies, and signature harmonies.
Their latest release, Hiyo, marks an exciting new chapter—blending their string band roots with fresh sonic textures like synthesizers, drum machines, and electric guitar. The result is both familiar and forward-thinking: a band honoring tradition while fearlessly expanding its sound.
In the Room
When Chatham County Line takes the stage at Tigre Island Room, it’s a masterclass in musicianship and connection. Their harmonies ring clear, their playing is tight yet fluid, and their songs carry a quiet depth that draws the room in.
It’s a performance that bridges past and present—where roots music feels both timeless and alive, and every note lands with intention.
