Rising stars of bluegrass, Billy and Marija Droze call Santa Fe in Nashvilleâs Big Back Yard home.
Billy sang lead for Grammy-winning Shenandoah and wrote songs including âI Know Betterâ by The Grascals ( #1 on the Bluegrass Today Chart) and âHer Memory Againâ by Flatt Lonesome ( #5 on the Bluegrass Today Chart).
On his journey as a solo artist, he has left behind a trail of number ones including âKentucky Blue,â âHaunted by the Wind,â âMy Fatherâs Son,â and many more. Billy and his wife Marija, a native of Lithuania and singer/songwriter in her own right, topped the Bluegrass Charts for more than a year with their hit song âRaging Rivers.â
Theyâve lived in Santa Fe for almost 9 years. His previous manager was selling the property and he and Marija fell in love with it.
âThe beautiful private and serene nature made us never want to leave.â
Billy told Nashvilleâs Big Back Yard that he writes 90% of his songs from the front porch of his studio in Santa Fe.
âThe quiet setting is like magic for a songwriter. Almost couldnât imagine the old way in an office downtown.â
There is a reason so many of todayâs most talented musicians end up with homes in Nashvilleâs Big Back Yard. Find out for yourself sometime and visit Santa Fe, home of Billy and Marija Droze!
