Episode 3- Retro 78 (Clint Groves & Hunter Mott) & Tall Dark Stranger

Retro 78 formed in October of 2021 and hasn't looked back since! What started as a good jam is now a band with a mixture of modern & traditional bluegrass, gospel and country music. Retro 78’s goal is to revisit and refresh some classic bluegrass music while bringing a high energy experience to the audience. The band is made up of powerhouse vocals and one of a kind musicianship. Lead vocalist, Clint Groves was nominated for the SPBGMA 2024 Male Vocalist of the Year, plays rhythm guitar and writes a lot of the band's original material. Clint makes his home in Clinton, SC. Singing lead, harmonies, and playing mandolin is Alex Hibbitts, who resides in Kodak, TN. Additionally, bringing a full sound and more instrumentals is Hunter Motts on the banjo from Boiling Springs, SC. They were honored to be the 2022 SPBGMA International Band Contest Champions! The Bluegrass Blonde Podcast, In Partnership with Radio Dogs Podcast Network.
