The tradition story of the band ....
Southern Feelings......It all started with a feeling...a "southern feeling", to bring authentic bluegrass and classical country music to Northeast Wisconsin. Badgergrass was formed in 2014 and has been actively entertaining in the Green Bay area ever since. The group had humble beginnings......initially practicing in a garage, and their first gig taking place during intermission at a Green Bay Community Theater show. Today, popularity is keeping them busy, sometimes as often as three times in one week! It is the cumulative experience and influence of all group members that builds the most powerful sound.
Little did we know at the time that we were evoking a rare moment in American music in the late 1930s, when traditional styles came together, as they endearingly put it, to flow as one river and create American popular music on radio. The first decades of the last century will long be heralded as the blossom of American music and creation of now, old treasures. That period continues to inspire many a band. Badgergrass specializes in the tight and lovely harmonies of authentic bluegrass, old country and early radio. Their shows combine a fresh take on bluegrass, mountain music while maintaining its authenticity and country heart-breakers, gospel, pop songs with a bluegrass flavor and fancy picking. You will hear traditional "old time" songs from Bill Monroe, Merle Haggard, and Jimmy Rogers, as well more contemporary covers from the likes of Van Morrison, Zak Brown and Jewel. We also spice up our shows with heartfelt originals. |
