The Horry County Museum presents a free traditional bluegrass concert by Sawgrass on Saturday, May 10th, at 1:00 PM. A tribute to local luthier, the late Jennings Chestnut will also take place before the performance. Sawgrass was formed in 1998 by founding member Jody Harrison, whose vision and passion shaped the band’s distinctive sound. The current lineup features Rich Viso, affectionately known as "Dr. Banjo," who has been with the band for 15 years, and the multi-talented Corey Merchant, who plays bass and serves as the band’s sound and audio engineer.

In 2024, the band welcomed Corey Anderson, whose exceptional vocals bring a dynamic new element to the group. Anderson’s voice is a true hidden gem, adding rich depth and emotion to Sawgrass’s performances. Also joining the band is Jenni Lyn Gardner, a Grammy-nominated musician with a distinguished international touring career and a deep history of music diplomacy. Jenni Lyn brings a wealth of experience, passion, and authenticity to Sawgrass. Over the years, Sawgrass has become a fixture in the bluegrass community. Their monthly residency at Chanti’s Pizza, a beloved local venue in downtown Conway, deepens their ties to the local music scene. With their energy, originality, and commitment to bluegrass, Sawgrass remains a prominent and respected presence in the region’s musical landscape. The program is free to the public and will be held in the Museum’s McCown Auditorium located at 805 Main Street, Conway, SC 29526. For more information, call 843-915-5320 or email hcg.museum@horrycountysc.gov. To view a full list of scheduled programs, visit the museum website at www.horrycountymuseum.org.
