Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver
Band · Active 1979–present · Bristol, Tennessee
Contemporary Bluegrass
Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver were among the most influential bluegrass and bluegrass-gospel acts of the past four decades, pairing tight four-part vocal arrangements with driving instrumental work under mandolinist and bandleader Doyle Lawson, who retired the band at the end of 2021 after a 60-year career on the road.
- Formed in April 1979, after Lawson left the Country Gentlemen, with Jimmy Haley on guitar, Lou Reid on bass, and Terry Baucom on banjo.
- Signed to the newly launched Sugar Hill Records and released a self-titled debut in 1980, followed by the landmark a cappella gospel album Rock My Soul in 1981.
- Won the IBMA Vocal Group of the Year award seven times, including a four-year sweep from 2001–2004.
- Earned multiple Grammy nominations, including There's a Light Guiding Me (1996) and In Session (2015).
- Served as a launching point for a generation of bluegrass singers and players, including Russell Moore, Barry Scott, Jamie Dailey, Adam Steffey, and Phil Leadbetter.
- Recorded across Sugar Hill, Brentwood, Crossroads, Rounder, and Mountain Home over four decades on the road.
- Played their final shows in late 2021; Lawson was inducted into the IBMA Bluegrass Music Hall of Fame in 2012.
