Join us for original bluegrass / americana music performances.
North Carolina’s None of the Above (NOTA) has been performing in the Piedmont Triad area with their bluegrass-based acoustic music for well over twenty-five years.
While many acts perform and record bluegrass and acoustic music, there are few true bands. NOTA isn’t concerned with who’s in the spotlight; they focus on creating and performing the best music possible. Their goal is to produce something special and out of the ordinary, greater than the sum of its individual parts.
By working with traditional bluegrass instrumentation, NOTA has crafted a unique sound. Their music incorporates elements and material from a variety of styles including Bluegrass, Americana, Alternative Country, Folk, Rock, and their own original compositions. NOTA’s musical style maintains its traditional roots while drawing on each member’s interpretation and contribution to arrangements. This ultimately produces a sound that lives up to their name: None of the Above.
Tim Sands – vocals & guitar. Tim’s love for all things acoustic comes from his dad. He started playing at a young age and, while he jokes he hasn’t improved much, he’s always had the wisdom to surround himself with excellent musicians. Tim loves the concept of ‘a band’ and enjoys his role as the ‘Chief Nit-Picker’ (perhaps sometimes a bit too much). Tim writes much of NOTA’s original material and resides in one of the relatively flat spots between Pinnacle and Pilot Mountain, NC.
