Tigertown Roots

Tigertown Roots: Clemson University Bluegrass Band was founded during the fall 2017 school year under the direction of Dr. Mark Hosler and student leader, Ryan Wilson. What started as an idea presented by Ryan as a project has turned into a talent filled, high energy performing bluegrass ensemble. Many of the youngsters in this band are YAM alumni, and we can't wait to welcome them to our stage! Tigertown Roots! They were recently featured in Clemson World Magazine!

Ella & Mary

Ella & Mary have come up through the YAM program and have created a sound of their very own! If you haven't heard them yet, hold onto your seat. The harmonies, the fiddle, and the interpretations are fresh and tight. Now that Josiah has joined them on bass, their sound has really transformed. We look forward to having them back on our stage.
