About Fraud Stuart
Progressive bluegrass pioneers from Fort Smith, Arkansas, blending traditional roots with modern innovation.
Our Story
June 2024 marked the beginning of something special. Four passionate musician friends were offered the chance to play at a local private music festival, and that opportunity sparked a musical revolution.
What started as a one-time performance quickly evolved into a genre-defying journey. With roots in bluegrass, jamgrass, and indie rock, we discovered we could blend these distinct sounds into something entirely new.
