At just 16 years old, Wyatt Ellis is a multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter, and composer from East Tennessee who’s not just playing old music, he’s making it new again. Widely recognized as one of the most exciting young talents in bluegrass, Wyatt blends deep-rooted tradition with fresh virtuosity. By 13, he made his guest debut on the Grand Ole Opry; by 14, he returned for his artist debut performing his own compositions, an unprecedented milestone. His debut album, Happy Valley, a collection of original instrumentals, debuted at #1 on the Billboard Bluegrass chart, signaling the rise of a bold new voice in American roots music. Backed by a powerhouse band known for high-energy performances, Wyatt’s music connects generations, breathing new life into the genre. Featured in the Country Music Hall of Fame’s American Currents exhibit and serving as an ambassador for the Greater Smokies Region, Wyatt Ellis is a once-in-a-generation artist shaping the future of acoustic music.
