It has just been announced that Kristin Scott Benson, banjo player of the year, has joined the Grascals. She most recently had been with The Larry Stephenson Band, for the second time.
Information below from Kristin's My Space page.
After high school, she relocated to Nashville to attend Belmont University, where she earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Marketing and graduated summa cum laude. While a sophomore in college, she joined the Larry Stephenson Band and spent five years with the group, recording 3 albums. During her tenure, the band was featured on the cover of Bluegrass Unlimited and made numerous appearances on the Grand Ole Opry and The Nashville Network. In 2000, she left to explore other musical avenues, but returned to the band in 2006. She can also be heard regularly with Larry Cordle and Lonesome Standard Time.
Kristin has a brand new CD, released on Pinecastle Records, called Second Season. With eight instrumentals (four of them originals) and four vocal performances, the album features her powerful banjo playing, while still appealing to fans that aren't motivated solely by instrumental prowess. The project is highly anticipated and features many of today's top bluegrass musicians, including, Wayne Benson, Cody Kilby, Jim VanCleve, Mickey Harris, Sally Jones, Larry Cordle, Josh Williams, Larry Stephenson, David Grier, Andy Todd, and Shad Cobb.
