Canadian Folk Music Award nominated Notre Dame de Grass is a five-piece bluegrass band specializing in original songs and instrumental material.  Songsmith/guitarist Matt Large and composer/banjoist Guy Donis provide the palette for fiddler Chris Bartos, mandolinist Joe Grass and bassist Solon McDade to exhibit their exceptional skill.

While staying true to the conservative sensibilities of bluegrass music, Notre Dame de Grass calls upon the deep well of North American folk idioms to inform their work.  Featuring strong vocal harmonies and high calibre instrumental musicianship, a Notre Dame de Grass concert is a unique tour de force.

"NDG is an all-star band of musicians.  You don't need to be a bluegrass junkie to love this band."

Gene Swimmer, Ottawa Folk Festival Director

"I'd like to think you're a band to keep a sharp eye on and ear to in the coming months and years...the concert was beyond my expectations."

Ron Moores, CKCU Radio

"We shared the evening with Matt Large and Notre Dame de Grass. I enjoyed Matt very much, and the band was hot. It was a treat to listen to them. They did a scorching version of my song "Saturday Night". I may never play it again!"

David Francey

"You are the only Quebec bluegrass band I have ever given a standing ovation."

Ross Harvey, CKUT Radio
