Chris Jones and the Night Drivers

Chris Jones & the Night Drivers make some of the most distinctively elegant yet driving bluegrass music heard anywhere today. Deeply rooted in tradition but never bound to it, they deliver original music with tight arrangements, emotional authenticity, and engaging humor. As actor and banjo player Steve Martin says, “Chris Jones’ voice is there with the great masters,” adding that the Night Drivers are “some of the best players in bluegrass.” The band consists of Chris on guitar and lead vocals, Grace van’t Hof on Banjo and Ukulele, Nelson Williams on bass, and Mark Stoffel on mandolin. Together they have become popular repeat performers at major festivals like Merlefest in North Carolina, the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. They have filled a wide variety of venues around the world, touring across the U.S. and Canada, and all over Europe, including Germany, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, and Ireland.
