Who Says Grass Doesn't Grow in New York City?

CITIGRASS

CITIGRASS is not just a Bluegrass band, not just a jamband; they are a musical experience built of seasoned musicians and world travelers. CITIGRASS specializes in mixing bluegrass, rock, folk, Celtic and world music to create their own style of "Urban Bluegrass," blending rock and jam influences with traditional bluegrass to create a hot, modern sound with worldwide appeal. The band has built a solid foundation within the bluegrass, jam, and world-music circles. In addition to several guest visits from Mike Gordon (Phish), the band has shared the stage with Yonder Mountain String Band, Double Trouble, Railroad Earth, and many other artists. CITIGRASS has struck a nerve within the pulse of the entertainment industry. Their latest recording "Serpent in the Grass" slithered its way into the TOP 20 CMJ CHARTS, and the record has been receiving strong rotation on Bluegrass/Americana/Rock stations and programs.


CITIGRASS is a favorite at many festivals and top venues as well as a regular act at New York City’s legendary Knitting Factory. The band is fresh off private performances for NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg and for the staff of "Relix" magazine. They have also just completed soundtrack recordings for the new Billy-Bob Thornton movie, "Astronaut Farmer," and appeared recently on ABC TV live from Lincoln Center plaza. Citigrass will also be the featured soloist at next summer’s Mobile Symphony Orchestra pops concert. Citigrass and "Serpent in the Grass," their latest CD release, stretch the boundaries of bluegrass music. The band continues to receive praise and massive critical acclaim in diverse publications such as "Bluegrass Unlimited," "Relix," "The Village Voice," "NY Press," and "Jambands.com."
