Triple Lindy
"Booty-Shakin' Foot-Stompin
Newgrass"...
is a good one line description, but our music is a little hard to
describe due to it's style-blending qualities. For example: Reggae
and Bluegrass can be combined to make "Reggrass"! Similarly we could
be playing "Funk-Grass" or combining anything to make it
something-GRASS!!! The grass part comes from our predominantly
acoustic sound and strong syncopation played with traditional
instruments. The other part of our grass sound places a strong
emphasis on three-part harmonies a la CSN or something that you'd
hear on a
Del McCoury or a Nashville Ramblers recording.
We aren't a "jam band" per se, although we frequently ride the music
to new places through improvisation and solos. But, unlike your
typical jam band, we can also play concisely and supportively of
each other when the music calls for it. We play about 50% Bluegrass
tunes which pay a strong homage to Bill Monroe, The Stanley Brothers
and The Seldom Scene.
Much of our repertoire however, was never even remotely Bluegrass to
start with. Phish, The Doors, Sublime and The Allman Brothers can
all be interpreted through the genre of "Newgrass" (traditional
instruments playing non-traditional songs). Mix in a dose of blues,
funk, psychedelic folk, rock (college and classic) and vintage
country, and our sound rounds out nicely. Our minds are open to
experimentation. We're NOT your ordinary Bluegrass band.
