"Last Chance to Win," released in August 2023 on Mountain Fever Records (MFR 230818), is the debut label album by East Nash Grass — a Nashville quintet formed as the house band for Dee's Country Cocktail Lounge in East Nashville. The ensemble features James Kee (guitar), Cory Walker (banjo), Harry Clark (mandolin — 2022 IBMA Momentum Award winner), Gaven Largent (dobro), Jeff Picker (bass), and Maddie Denton (fiddle). Contemporary progressive bluegrass with strong swing and jazz-inflected arrangements, the album was praised by Bluegrass Today as "a wonderful release from beginning to end." It earned the band an IBMA New Artist of the Year nomination, which they won in 2024, establishing East Nash Grass as one of the most talked-about new acts in contemporary bluegrass.
