Biography
Gangstagrass is a dirty fightin’, gator wrestlin’, foot stompin, genre bustin, Billboard chartin, Emmy nominated team of Bluegrass Hip-hop pioneers. Known for the theme song to the TV series “Justified” and for giving you hope about America’s future. Featuring real bluegrass pickers and real hip-hop emcees. Radical desegregation of roots music at a fundamental level.
A true example of the belief that we are better together, Gangstagrass combines great American traditions of bluegrass, hip-hop, and beyond to create a whole new musical genre that is more than the sum of its parts.
More recently, between an appearance on national television that made everyone’s highlights list, and a glowing New York Times op-ed titled “This Is The Music America Needs,” the band is geared up to get us dancing on common ground for their national and international tours and their upcoming full length
