[Forest Station]
A Vermont-based bluegrass group, was born in the Rocky Mountains and realized in the Greens. Their music is a captivating blend of high energy, tight pockets, and just enough improvisational grease, that delivers a unique twist on traditional bluegrass sound.
In 2019, guitarist Eli Martell-Crawford and mandolinist Alex Skowron started a musical partnership in Bozeman, Montana. At the base of the Bridger Mountains, they formed a communicative musical bond that has resulted in innovative string music spanning the
traditional ideal and pushing a unique style into unknown territory.
A move east to Vermont introduced life changes, ambitions, and musicians. After meeting local banjo mainstay, Thomas Bryce, the three began formulating musical ideas and a blueprint for the ideal Bluegrass band.
Recently, bassist Rob Strasenburgh came on board, and fiddle player Silas Hamilton often joins them on stage. The musicians of Forest Station come from multi-genre backgrounds, and the band can effortlessly drop into cavernous improvisational moments while also meeting blistering bluegrass standards, showcasing their musical versatility and prowess.
After their first album, “Earth Tones," was released in 2024, they played at various festivals throughout New England and have played with national acts as they grow their fan base. Their writing partnership, deep-rooted love for the natural world, and profound appreciation of Bluegrass music (and beyond) result in music that is a reflection of the mountain ranges, landscapes, and forests that surround them.
