Wade Cox began playing bluegrass as a teenager. Growing up in the central part of Virginia, his bluegrass influences orignated from the music of Reno & Smiley, Bill Monroe, Red Allen, The Bluegrass Cardinals and many other traditional bands. He honed his musical skills jamming with friends at the bluegrass festivals and pickin' parties. His onstage experience began with a 2-year stint touring the US and and Canada with Solong Recording artist, Mitch Harrell and The South River Express.

Most recenly, Wade played for nearly 3 years with Blue Circle Records' artist Heather Berry traveling the region with her and her band Dominion Grass. He has also filled in with the Legendary band The Country Gentlemen and Joe Isaacs and worked as a us studio musician on recording projects for numerous blugrass artists.

Growing up in a 'land of bluegrass music' in Lynchburg, Virginia (hometown to the legendary Don Reno), Wade had the opportunity to be around what he considers to be some of the finest musicians in the bluegrass business like Randy Graham; sons of Don Reno, Dale and Donne Wayne; the Pheonix Band, the Deer Creek Boys, and many other top-notch local bluegrass bands and musicians.

Just this past month (Dec '08) Wade completed a traditional bluegrass solo project titled "Heroes and Friends" featuring incredible musicians and his personal friends: Heather Berry, Tony Mabe, Robert Overstreet, John Simmons, Jeremy Stephens, Mike Tyree, Jason Tomlin and Cason Ogden (of Award Winning Deer Creek Boys) and Steve Wilson (formerly with Don Reno and The Tennessee Cutups and The Lost & Found) Bonny Beverly (also formerly with Don Reno and The Tennessee Cutups).
