Old Habits is a traditional bluegrass band hailing from Raleigh, NC (& the surrounding area). The band's origins go back to when brothers Craig & Bennett Thompson started picking with Lin Peterson in early 2002. After pursuing newgrass for a while (in the original Old Habits) the 3 got together in April 2003 with Brian English for a garage picking session at the Groveland Estate near NCSU. Several fiddle tunes later the sound was complete. In 2006, the band welcomed Chad Johnson to the group on guitar.

The members have similar interests in playing traditional and progressive bluegrass, drawing influences from Ricky Skaggs, Tony Rice, Del McCoury, Sam Bush and Tim O'Brien. Old Habits has quickly developed a classic sound, fueled by powerful harmonies and strong instrumentals. Expect a fun show filled with a mix of original material and traditional bluegrass songs.
