“The magic was still there,” said Johnson. “We had a whole lot of fun. Just wasn’t enough to make any crazy decisions. I’m completely content where I’m at. It makes it more special when we do get together. It’s promised to be a great time and no better place in the world than Milan, so I’m pretty humbled by that.”

The Grascals have put together quiet the career by playing on the Grand Ole Opry, as well as with the legendary Dolly Parton. The group has earned nine International Bluegrass Music Association Awards, 28 Society of the Preservation of Bluegrass Music of America Awards, and three Grammy nominations.
