Denim & Plaid

Formed in May 2022 at the Southwest Virginia Cultural Center during the Crooked Road Youth Music Contest, Denim & Plaid was born when founding members Hollace Oakes and Berkley Stewart met for the first time. With just 15 minutes to come up with a name, inspiration struck — Hollace was wearing plaid, Berkley was in jeans, and Berkley’s dad suggested "Denim & Plaid." The name — and the partnership — stuck.

The band features several award-winning young musicians:

Tucker Conner – Guitar & Vocals

Hollace Oakes – Fiddle & Vocals

Berkley Stewart – Banjo & Vocals

Truett Wagner – Mandolin

Elliot King - Bass
