The Sentimental Gentlemen
East Nashville’s Premier Bluegrass & Americana Collective

Hailing from the heart of East Nashville’s thriving music scene, The Sentimental Gentlemen are a powerhouse collective that seamlessly blend deep-rooted traditional bluegrass with fresh, contemporary influences. When they’re not on the road backing the West Virginia songbird, Sierra Ferrell, the band’s members are busy crafting a sound that is as diverse as it is electrifying, drawing on years of professional stage and studio experience.

As full-time touring and studio musicians, they’ve graced stages across the globe, playing with an impressive roster of artists including Sierra Hull, Mark O'Connor, Western Centuries, and Lindsay Lou. The Sentimental Gentlemen are Joshua Rilko (mandolin & vocals), Oliver Bates Craven (fiddle, guitar, vocals), and Geoff Saunders (bass, vocals), with rotating banjo and guitar buddies.
