ST. LOUIS, August 15, 2026: Grammy-winning fiddler Jason Carter is bringing his bluegrass sound to City Winery St. Louis on Wednesday, August 19, for an evening built around one of the genre’s most accomplished instrumentalists.
The Jason Carter Band is scheduled to perform at 7:30 p.m. at City Winery St. Louis, located at 3730 Foundry Way in St. Louis. Tickets are listed in the $36 to $45.60 range through Explore St. Louis, while ticket marketplaces are also listing the performance.
Carter’s St. Louis appearance gives local bluegrass fans an opportunity to see a performer whose career has stretched across decades of touring, recording and collaborations with some of the biggest names in roots and country music.
A Career Built on Bluegrass and Fiddle
Carter has spent roughly three decades as the fiddle player for the Del McCoury Band, one of bluegrass’s most decorated groups. He is also a founding member of the Travelin’ McCourys.
His career has earned him three Grammy Awards and five International Bluegrass Music Association awards for Fiddle Player of the Year. His playing has also appeared on recordings involving artists including Steve Earle, Ricky Skaggs, Dierks Bentley, Charlie Daniels and Vince Gill.
That résumé makes the St. Louis show more than a routine club performance. Carter has remained closely connected to traditional bluegrass while also working across the broader country and roots music scene.
Kentucky Roots Remain at the Center
Carter’s musical identity is closely tied to Kentucky, where he grew up surrounded by bluegrass and began playing guitar as a child before taking up the fiddle at 15.
He later moved into professional touring, first performing with the Goins Brothers before joining the Del McCoury Band at 19. Over the years, he has performed at festivals, concert venues and jam sessions across the country while helping carry bluegrass into new audiences.
The Country Music Highway in Kentucky also recognizes Carter’s career with a sign honoring him among notable musicians associated with the region.
New Music Adds Another Layer to the Show
Carter’s current musical chapter includes his forthcoming solo album, Lowdown Hoedown. The project features contributions from several prominent musicians, including Jerry Douglas, Sam Bush, Sarah Jarosz, Billy Strings and Dierks Bentley.
The album also represents a new side of Carter’s career because he steps forward as a lead vocalist in addition to showcasing the fiddle playing that has defined much of his professional life.
The title track features Dierks Bentley, while other songs explore different sides of Carter’s musical influences, including traditional bluegrass, storytelling and slower acoustic arrangements.
City Winery Offers an Intimate Setting
The St. Louis performance comes at City Winery, an entertainment venue at City Foundry that hosts concerts, comedy shows and special events throughout the year.
The venue’s current schedule confirms the Jason Carter Band performance for Wednesday, August 19, at 7:30 p.m.
Unlike a large arena show, City Winery’s format provides a more intimate setting for instrumental music, allowing audiences to experience the details of a live bluegrass performance up close.
Why the St. Louis Show Stands Out
Jason Carter’s appearance arrives during a busy week of entertainment in the St. Louis area, including a Mötley Crüe performance at Hollywood Casino Amphitheatre on the same night.
That makes Carter’s show a distinctly different option for music fans looking beyond the area’s larger rock productions. Explore St. Louis lists the Jason Carter Band at City Winery at 7:30 p.m. on August 19.
For bluegrass fans, the appeal is Carter’s combination of traditional Kentucky influences, Grammy-winning credentials and decades of experience performing alongside leading figures in the genre.

A Bluegrass Night in St. Louis
Jason Carter’s August 19 appearance brings together Kentucky bluegrass tradition, award-winning musicianship and a career that has connected traditional string-band music with the wider country and roots scene.
With his long-running work alongside the Del McCoury Band, his Travelin’ McCourys connection and his expanding solo career, Carter arrives in St. Louis with a résumé that reaches well beyond the fiddle.
