ABOUT NEW STANDARD:

New Standard brings together a variety of styles and influences ranging from traditional music to contemporary bluegrass and gospel artists.  The band was founded in October, 2011 by Zach Brown, Spencer Blankenship, and Mason Thomas - all students at Virginia Tech at the time. Shortly after, Stewart Scales joined the group playing bass and the band began performing at local restaurants in the New River Valley.  Robert Overstreet was added on banjo in 2018, and the band continues to expand its performance horizons up and down the Blue Ridge today.
Spencer Blankenship studied mandolin with Herschel Sizemore for many years and carries Herschel’s mandolin style forward through his work with New Standard.
