Greensky Bluegrass

Greensky Bluegrass, as the name suggests, is not the average bluegrass band. The Michigan based band plays traditional bluegrass music, but also focuses on challenging what many may consider to be the limits of the genre.

Two nights with Railroad Earth

Not quite bluegrass, jam band or rock 'n' roll. Railroad Earth dips and dodges the listener's innate desire to cloister a group's sound within the rigid boundaries of a definable genre.

Yonder Mountain String Band+Railroad Earth+Danny Barnes

Your band name and Beat novels: Keep them separate: Eric R. Danton | Sound Check

New Jersey jam band Railroad Earth performs Sept. 18 at Toad's Place, which makes this an excellent time for this reminder: Naming your band after the works of Beat authors -- thereby implying that you have read, understood and deeply internalized the work in question -- is not cool so much as it is pretentious and annoying.
