Gnarly Fingers is a four piece band that specializes in three and four part harmony. They have been entertaining audiences in north Georgia and western North Carolina for nineteen years. They cover The Band, The Eagles, Tom Waits, Butch Hancock, Guy Clark, The Steeldrivers, John Prine, The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band… in addition to their original music and they’re known for their mix of “eclectic acoustic” music from some of the greatest songwriters. Hailing from Hayesville, NC and Hiawassee, GA, the band was formed around the original three vocalists, Pat List, Keith Layton and Tom Edwards. List provides the rhythm guitar and harmonica while Layton “smokes” on lead guitar. Edwards is now the band’s mandolin and banjo player. In addition to the original three, Brian Kruger adds his voice to the harmonies while playing bass, keyboard and slide guitar. Formed in 2005, Gnarly Fingers has continued to evolve musically while staying true to their goal of performing “great songs from great songwriters”. For the past ten years, they have been regulars at all the local festivals and are frequently found entertaining at both the Hayesville and Hiawassee squares.
