Recently featured on BBC 6Music, The British Bluegrass News and Bluegrass Today, they are one of the UK’s top bluegrass acts - that impossible blend of virtuosity and hard-driving rhythm mixed with modern sensibility, tasteful originals, three-part harmonies and technical wizardry.
In the past year, they completed a run of sold-out shows at venues across the UK, Ireland and mainland Europe, played main stage slots at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Shambala, Latitude, and further afield at Westport Bluegrass (Ireland), Willisau (Switzerland), Nääsville (Sweden), Pflasterspektakel (Austria) and Jai Thep (Thailand).
Represented by Strada International in the UK and Rootstown Bookings in Europe, are a high-energy bluegrass act that are making waves on the international bluegrass scene.
Their music uses banjo, mandolin, guitar and double bass to get knees bouncing and elbows swinging to the sweet harmonies, blistering solos and driving rhythm of the authentic Bluegrass sound. Be prepared to be transported back in time and space to early 20th-century North America, where songs dramatised the small-town fascination with locomotion, love, violence, and the veneration of bootleg liquor.
