Todd Grebe & Cold Country
Pop-Up Show at Dee’s
Monday, March 2 9PM
Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge
Featuring:
Billy Contreras, David Long, Josh Brand & Evan Windsor
A last-minute opening in Todd Grebe’s travel schedule created an unexpected opportunity for a Nashville stop on his way through from Alaska — and Dee’s Country Cocktail Lounge moved a few things around to make space after Kyle Tuttle’s Monday residency for this special late-night set.
The result is Bluegrass Nashville’s first pop-up: an intimate Cold Country show and Grebe’s first Nashville performance in over a decade.
When Grebe last called Nashville home, he was a familiar presence in the city’s bluegrass and jam circles, building a devoted following and playing a meaningful role in the picker community that continues to shape the scene today. This return feels less like a tour stop and more like a reunion.
For this Nashville edition of Cold Country, Grebe is joined by Billy Contreras, David Long, Josh Brand, and Evan Windsor — a lineup of players whose shared history and deep local roots make the night feel organic, loose, and deeply connected to the room.
Following Kyle Tuttle’s weekly residency, the night rolls naturally into this one-off gathering — a chance to stay late, reconnect with old friends, and hear Cold Country songs unfold in a space built for close listening and spontaneous musical moments.
Capacity is limited and this came together quickly — grab a ticket, stick around after Kyle’s set, and settle in for a rare Nashville return and a late-night Cold Country hang at Dee’s
