Formed in 2001, Packway Handle Band has emerged at the national forefront of bands that use the gather-around-the-mic style. Theirs is not a mission to preserve historical styles; it's just how they do and what they do the best. They are one of the most popular bands currently on the Athens music scene; for seven consecutive years, from 2002 to 2009, they have been voted "Bluegrass /Americana Band of the Year" in the Flagpole Magazine's reader's poll.

Additionally, this award-winning band took first place in 2003 in the Miller Light Battle of the Bands in Athens, GA. In 2009, they won the Podunk Bluegrass Band competition in East Hartford, CT, and placed 2nd in the Rockygrass Festival Band competition in Lyons, CO. They have placed as finalists in the Telluride Folk & Bluegrass Festival band competition, taking 2nd in 2004.

The band performs over 200 shows a year in the United States. In 2008, the same year that they released their third CD, they embarked on an overseas tour to play the Celtic Connections Festival in Glasgow, Scotland, as well as a string of other dates throughout the UK, Belgium, Holland, and France. The band will continue to tour heavily in support of the new CD. Confirmed dates thus far include:
