Bio / Background
With its driving electric upright bass, hot-blooded gypsy violin, rock banjo, and jazz influenced percussion, BLACKGRASS is an oddity in a world of clearly defined musical genres. It's an uncommon mixture: some of its fans call it jazz grass; others have nicknamed the sound "banjo rock," "postapunkalyptic," and... "a little weird."
With a zealous and spirited following who pack BLACKGRASS shows, any performance brings together an eclectic group of fans who enjoy the band's curious mixture of dark lyrics and live-wire instrumentation. Scott Trowbridge, the group's lead vocalist and bass player quips: "We're a little like Tom Waits gone alternative country."
Prior to experimenting with multiple genres, Scott cut his musical teeth listening to bands like Fugazi and Helmet and playing with hardcore-punk groups like Oscar and Sunday School.

awesome bluegrass from beyond the graveijdu wrote on February 21, 2008
what to say about this album? they start off with an amazing cover of 60s classic "wayfaring stranger", and then just keep getting better and better. think the byrds psychedelia meets dark alt.country and angry johnny and the killbillies level spookiness. trowbridge's line that "We're a little like Tom Waits gone alternative country" is so absolutely true. amazingly amazing stuff!!!
