WS826: Gangstagrass and Harpeth Rising




The Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour Podcast show

Summary: GANGSTAGRASS is a dirty fightin', gator wrestlin', foot stompin' bluegrass-hip-hop project of Brooklyn based producer Rench, who has spent the last decade making gritty, soulful country hip-hop music that you will actually like. Best known as the Emmy-nominated makers to the hit FX drama Justified, the band has since become a commercial and critical success. Gangstagrass is now back with its fourth official album, the aptly-titled, 'American Music'. The album debuted Number 5 on the Billboard Bluegrass Charts. HARPETH RISING are unapologetic genre-benders. This trio of women are master musicians that fuse Folk, Newgrass, Rock and Classical into a sound that is organically unique. Hallmarks of their music include expansive three-part harmonies, consummate musicianship and a deft, yet soulful lyrical perspective. The band's fourth album is 'Shifted'. WoodSongs Kid: Mikaya Taylor is a 10 year old singer from Lawrenceburg, Kentucky.
