The Woodshed Collective is a Bluegrass Jam Band playing Traditional Bluegrass songs, along with Rock, Americana, and Folk tunes with a Bluegrass flavor.  Rob Kirby (Banjo and Vocals), Matt Bartels (Guitar and Vocals), Chip Whitfield (Mandolin) and Dan Leich(Fiddle) make up the band.

The band started out as a weekly Jam circle in the "Woodshed" behind Chip's house and now plays a few gigs a year for nonprofit fund raiser events for the Foothills Conservancy and the Lake James Environmental Association, as well as a few gigs a year at Camp Lake James in Nebo, NC on Friday nights in the Summer.

Three members of the band live on the Catawba River so they understand the importance of the mission of Catawba Riverkeeper! We are excited for their support and for their performance!
