About Fraud Stuart
A progressive bluegrass band (aka Fraud Bluegrass) from Fort Smith, Arkansas.
Our Journey
Fraud Stuart emerged from the rich musical landscape of Fort Smith, Arkansas in early 2024, bringing together four talented musicians with a shared vision: to create a fresh, innovative take on traditional bluegrass music.
The band's unique sound, which they've dubbed "Fraud Bluegrass," blends traditional bluegrass instrumentation with elements of indie rock and experimental music, creating energetic performances that they describe as "fire jams."
What started as informal jam sessions quickly evolved into something more significant as audiences responded enthusiastically to their distinctive sound and energetic performances.
With their debut EP on the horizon, Fraud Stuart is poised to make their mark on the progressive bluegrass scene, bringing their innovative sound to venues and festivals throughout the Northwest Arkansas and river valley area.
