Meet City Holler

Led by Wayne Smith on acoustic guitar and mandolin, City Holler showcases tight harmonies, driving rhythms, and authentic instrumentation. Wayne’s seasoned musicianship anchors the group’s sound and direction.

Carla Simmons delivers soaring lead soprano vocals that bring depth and clarity to the band’s gospel and traditional repertoire, while Lea Nesbitt’s rich alto voice provides a warm and soulful counterpoint.

On fiddle and mandolin, Art Gadzik adds old-time flair and virtuosic textures, weaving melody and rhythm with finesse. Sam Adioetomo lays down the classic banjo rolls and lends her voice to sweet, seamless harmonies. Holding it all together, Kraig Decker drives the rhythm with his upright bass and vocals, grounding the group in tradition and groove.
