About Rumpke Mountain Boys:
You’ve heard bluegrass, jamgrass and newgrass, but Rumpke Mountain Boys blend of rock, folk, bluegrass drawing on countless influences is so unique it has it’s own name – Trashgrass. Utilizing acoustic guitar, mandolin, upright bass and banjo, Rumpke Mountain Boys bring jaw-dropping musicianship and outstanding songwriting from all four members to stages across the country. Known for their fiery live performances where every show is a celebration, their latest album Moon has garnered critical acclaim from traditional bluegrass lovers to newgrass fans alike. Vince Herman of Leftover Salmon put it best, stating, “hot licks, cool tunes, they’re a party waiting to happen.”
About David Gans:
A David Gans “solo electric” performance is likely to consist of several elements: country-blues-style fingerpicking; loop-based
improvisations created live in the moment; sweetly-sung ballads, original or borrowed; Grateful Dead songs reinterpreted to suit his voice and guitar; wry observations of the music-festival subculture and the larger world; soulful and passionate political commentary; favorites from the folk-rock canon of the last 50 years. Mix and match – it’s never the same show twice, but it’s always worth a listen.
