About this user
Citigrass specializes in blending rock and jam influences with traditional bluegrass to create a hot, modern sound. Born and bred in New York City, Citigrass is described by Bluegrass Unlimited as Bluegrass with a modern slant, the music of Citigrass is filled with intensity bound up with a bit of naughtiness that will delight anyone who appreciates bluegrass with an attitude. Individually, the members of Citigrass have performed or recorded with such artists as Paul McCartney, Lenny Kravitz, The Who, Ornette Coleman, Perry Ferrell, and Prince. The bands recent highlights include Citigrass as the featured soloist at a Mobile Symphony Orchestra Pops concert (arranged for symphony orchestra by our fiddler Kenji Bunch) plus work on the soundtrack of the new Billy-Bob Thornton movie, 'Astronaut Farmer'. Other highlights include a private performance for New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, as well as sit-ins by Phish-bassist Mike Gordon.
