  • Bio

    Thank you for visiting our myspace community, it's like the rippin' community of characters at our live shows, but different. When myspace starts selling whiskey however, I bet it will be the same. .. .. Grass it Up was formed in 2005 as a power trio, David Jeffrey (mandolin/guitar/vocal), Shannon Carr (guitar/banjo/vocal) and Jon Bross (upright bass/vocal). Later addition Danny Karpel (keyboard/piano) brings an eclectic blend of keyboard and piano that stirs the soul and tempts the ears. In 2009, Ben 'Blackbeard' Lewis (Fiddle) found his way to the Front Range BBQ stage and hasn't left. Yes, the BBQ is that good. Ben brings a fire in his bow that further solidifies Grass It Up as bluegrass band that's here to stay and turn some heads a long the way. The group has an impressive resume, having recorded two full length albums and performed for Fortune 500 companies, luxury resorts, convention centers, mountain towns, festivals, acoustic societies, weddings and other private events. Currently, Grass It Up is busy playing shows and recording their third original full length cd in Colorado Springs at Funny Bunny Records. The CD is due out in the early summer of 2010. A range of influence is evident in their music and performance energy. “We’re playing to have fun and that means a dynamic repertoire for us, we find that engaging our audience at every performance is vital in building the energy we’re after.” states bass player Jon Bross. Grass It Up performs most Wednesdays in at the Front Range Barbeque in Colorado Springs, a venue that has grown into a local hub for bluegrass music and a showcase of nationally touring bluegrass bands. Their musical adventures certainly don’t stop with an evening booking. Says Bross: “In our five years together, we’ve arranged and hosted a series of mountain music festivals near Divide, Colorado, Grapes and Grass in Sonoma, California, as well as two destination music festivals titled Lavapalooza in Arenal, Costa Rica. We find inspiration in our friends and community, and are passionate about culture and travel - these events further unite our music and friends each year”. Grass It Up has been featured throughout Colorado in the print media, regional radio stations and bluegrass shows. They can be heard each Wednesday as the introduction music for "Grass Roots Revival," hosted by Steve Harris on KRCC-FM. Grass It Up is an active member of the Colorado Springs business community, performing often for chamber members and local businesses while assisting non-profit and benefit organizations such as Care & Share and Junior Achievement of Southern Colorado. .. .. GRASS IT UP IS NOW ON iTUNES! ...... .. .. ..

    What is Grass It Up? The word "Grass" indicates the primary type of music we play. We are an acoustic-based trio that plays driving Bluegrass with the occasional Jazz, blues, celtic, rock or country tune. The word "It" refers to what is grassed up. We pursue the right mix of music for our audience, while serving our fix of bluegrass and any other genre that compells us. The word "Up" is refering to the style and energy that is used to express ourselves in live recordings and performances. David Jeffrey had a vision - each member of Grass It Up must play a vital role in the overall performance and outreach to fans - a unified sound for a collective audience. Where did these guys come from? The short answer is from all over the place. The theorectically correct answer is that they all came from the desire to perform like types of music to anyone interested in listening. Who do they sound like? Please enjoy a few songs...
