Jackson Grimm

Jackson Grimm is an accomplished and respected band leader, multi-instrumentalist and teacher in the Western North Carolina music community. His original songs marry folk pop melodies with the sound of traditional Appalachian music. In a region with a strong music culture, it is no surprise that Grimm's songwriting is representative of his musical birthplace: Asheville, NC.

An established member of the folk, bluegrass and old-time communities of the southeast, Grimm has taught guitar, banjo, mandolin and fiddle both privately and at Asheville’s Academy for the Arts. He can be found at a variety of camps and fiddle conventions each year including the Swannanoa Gathering, Mt Airy Fiddler's Convention, and Clifftop.

Grimm won the 2025 LEAF Songwriting competition, was a finalist for the NewSong Songwriting Competition, and has been a 2 year finalist for the Songwriter Serenade. He has shared the stage with and opened up for acts such as Molly Tuttle, Sierra Ferrell, Shadowgrass, the Wilder Flower, Arlo Guthrie, Tim Grimm, Ben Bedford, Ordinary Elephant, Nathan Evans Fox, and more.\\
