2009 Artist: Grassanova

‘Grassanova’ may be the new band on the block, but its members have years of experience playing bluegrass and other forms of acoustic music. ‘Tom & Marie’ have joined forces with R. J. Siegers and Jim MacWilliams to form an exciting and dynamic new acoustic sound in New York’s Southern Tier. ‘Grassanova’ plays solid traditional bluegrass as well as popular songs done in a bluegrass/newgrass style, and they’ll throw in a few other musical styles such as swing, blues, and early jazz just for fun.
