Grammy-nominated bluegrass duo Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley made their Mountain Stage debut at the Culture Center Theater in Charleston, W.Va. Powerhouse vocalist Trey Hensley has been turning heads since his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11, when Marty Stuart invited him to perform and Earl Scruggs joined in on the down-home musical festivities. As for Rob Ickes, the Nashville player has been named Dobro Player of the Year by the International Bluegrass Music Association 15 times. He has decades of bluegrass cred to his name, thanks to his work with veteran band Blue Highway. Together, they bring a mix of shouts, jazzy breakdowns and quickfire fingerpicking to the Mountain Stage.
