Wade Mainer (born April 21, 1907) is an American singer and banjoist. With his band, the Sons of the Mountaineers, he is credited with bridging the gap between old-time mountain music and Bluegrass and is sometimes called the "Grandfather of Bluegrass. " In addition, he innovated a two-finger banjo fingerpicking style, which was a precursor to modern three-finger bluegrass styles. Originally from North Carolina, Mainer's main influences came from the mountain music of his family.

- Wade Mainer (born April 21, 1907) is an American singer and banjoist. With his band, the Sons of the Mountaineers, he is credited with bridging the gap between old-time mountain music and Bluegrass and is sometimes called the "Grandfather of Bluegrass. " In addition, he innovated a two-finger banjo fingerpicking style, which was a precursor to modern three-finger bluegrass styles. Originally from North Carolina, Mainer's main influences came from the mountain music of his family. In a career that began in 1934 and spanned almost six decades, Mainer transitioned from being a member of his brother's band into the founder of his own ensemble, the Sons of the Mountaineers, with whom he performed until 1953, when he became more deeply involved with his Christianity and left the music industry. After working at a General Motors factory and attending gospel revivals, Mainer was convinced that he should restart his career as a Christian gospel musician and began to tour with his wife in this capacity. He continued to release albums until 1993 and turned 102 in 2009.
- Wade Mainer on yhdysvaltalainen country-laulaja ja -banjisti. Mainer syntyi Weavervillessä, Pohjois-Carolinan osavaltiossa, ja kasvoi paikallisella maatilalla. Hän aloitti uransa yhtyeessä The Mountaineers ja perusti vuonna 1936 duon Zeke Morrisin kanssa. Duo jäi lyhytikäiseksi, mutta pian Mainer perusti The Sons of the Mountaineersiksi nimetyn yhtyeen, joka muistetaan parhaiten vuonna 1939 julkaistusta "Sparkling Blue Eyes" -kappaleesta. Mainer meni vuonna 1937 naimisiin laulaja Julia Brownin kanssa. Hän esiintyi Valkoisessa talossa vuonna 1942. Mainer vetäytyi musiikkibisneksestä vuonna 1953 ja muutti vaimonsa kanssa Flintiin, Michiganiin. Hän siirtyi autoteollisuusalalle ja on sittemmin palaillut myös levyttämään.
