A Hillbilly Tribute To AC/DC, Kiss, Motorhead, Queen, Aerosmith, The Darkness, Bad Company and more
From the fertile valley of Deer Lick Holler, deep in the heart of Appalachia, comes a sound that is old yet new. In an area completely isolated from outside cultural and musical influence, this band of acoustic musicians grew up playing the traditional music of their forefathers. Then, as fate would have it, one crisp fall afternoon a stranger passed through the holler. Well, he almost passed through.
Unfortunately for him, but fortunately for appreciators of great music worldwide, the stranger crashed his muscle car into a stately old oak tree at Devil's Elbow curve. Sadly, the stranger expired, but his legacy lives on. In the back seat of his car the boys found a box of old vinyl records as they went through his belongings looking for some identification. The name of the band on the records was AC/DC, and though all they had on which to listen to them was an old Edison Victrola that only played at 78 R.P.M., the boys all agreed that it was mighty fine country music - a bit different, but mighty fine just the same.
In memory of the stranger who had perished, the boys set about learning these new songs, injecting elements of their own traditional mountain style. And thus, from these unlikely beginnings, an entirely new musical and cultural synthesis was set in motion. Rockgrass was born. As if the Creator Himself had uttered, "Let there be Rockgrass!"
Featuring interpretations of 12 classic rock songs by the likes of AC/DC, Kiss, Motorhead, Queen, Aerosmith, Bad Company The Darkness and the J Geils Band, plus 2 original numbers and one tradition song, their set is packed with surging banjo-driven arrangements and high-lonesome hillbilly harmonies – a mind-bending and genre-blending must for fans of any style of music.
