Flat Bridge is a stringband led by Emma Rast and Daniel Ullom.. Henry Strid, an emerging force in the banjo world, will join them on the 5-string banjo. Steeped in the vibrant musical scenes of Western North Carolina, Flat Bridge’s sound will transport you to a rowdy fiddle convention, square dance, or late night kitchen jam session—all places they love so dearly Together, the trio hold a deep reverence for the long lineage and celebratory nature of traditional music and the community it engenders. Weaving together old-time, early bluegrass, and country influences, their concerts are thoughtfully curated to create an experience that is both entertaining and grounding for audiences.

Emma Rast (Fiddle, Banjo, Guitar)
Emma grew up surrounded by traditional music in Lancaster, Pennsylvania. Carrying a rhythm forged by lifelong immersion in old-time and bluegrass, her fiddling is fiery, rhythmic, and steeped in the styles of masters like Benton Flippen, John Ashby, and Jim Shumate. Combined with her soulful, heartfelt vocals, Emma anchors the band's driving mountain groove.

Daniel Ullom (Mandolin, Guitar)
Hailing from West Texas and Eastern Washington, Daniel has spent over a decade touring, recording, and teaching traditional acoustic music. Known for his driving mandolin rhythm and passion for fiddle tunes, he is the creator behind two celebrated albums, The Swannanoa Sessions (2022) and Happy Birthday Dewey! (2024).
