HillBilly Fever

Hard-driving bluegrass. No known cure.

Traditional & hard-driving bluegrass, straight from the mountains.

Who We Are

Bluegrass the Way It Was Built to Be Played

HillBilly Fever plays bluegrass the way it was built to be played: hard, fast, and true to the tradition. Five seasoned pickers, tight harmony singing, and a lot of miles on the road. We bring the fire of first-generation bluegrass to every stage we play, and we don't leave until the crowd's caught it.

Founded in 2018 by North Carolina-born banjo man Mark Krider, a 50-year veteran who has shared the stage with the Osborne Brothers and the Country Gentlemen, HillBilly Fever calls the Dallas/East Texas area home and has carried its traditional sound to festival stages from California to Wisconsin.

    What Folks Are Saying

    The Fever Is Spreading

    Good band, Good Tone, Just Good.

    S. OsborneOsborne Bros.

    They have a traditional sound that reminded me of when I saw Jimmy Martin play. It took me back to when I fell in love with the music.
