Citigrass
is not just another Bluegrass band; they are a musical experience, built
of seasoned musicians & world travelers. Citigrass specializes in
mixing bluegrass, rock, folk, Celtic, & world music to create their
own style of 'urban bluegrass' which blends 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, jamband &
world music circles allowing the group to become a mainstay at festivals
& a favorite at colleges. They have shared the stage several times
with Mike Gordon of the legendary group Phish & many other artists.
With their ongoing success, recent appearance on Live From Lincoln
Center on ABC & special performance for NYC Mayor Michael Bloomberg,
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, & the record has been receiving
strong rotation on Bluegrass/Americana stations & programs while maintaining
an independent status.
Citigrass is a favorite at many top venues & festivals, as well as
a regular act at NYC’s legendary Knitting Factory & is the featured
soloist at next summer’s Mobile Symphony Orchestra pops concert,
to perform with the orchestra. Citigrass & Serpent stretch
the boundaries of bluegrass music. They continue to receive praise &
massive critical acclaim in diverse publications such as Bluegrass
Unlimited, Relix, Village Voice, NY Press,
& Jambands.com. We are sure that you will be as excited about
Citigrass as its fans are.
