ShoreGrass is a bluegrass band from the Connecticut shoreline which has performed as a quintet since December, 1999. Their music is a lively mix of traditional bluegrass, old-time, early country, gospel and folk songs as well as original pieces reflecting their roots in contemporary music with a local flavor. Three members of ShoreGrass sing, giving the group that unique bluegrass blend of guitar, banjo, mandolin, fiddle and bass while alternating leads on 2 and 3-part vocal harmonies. Their music demonstrates the range and uniqueness of each instrument as well as an unusually rich vocal blend, all delivered with the special sense of humor that marks all ShoreGrass performances.
The band performs locally as well as around New England, and has released three albums, including their debut "In Connecticut," "Songs of the Civil War Era" (recorded live) and their newest album "Going Home." More information about them can be found on the band website at www.shoregrass.com.
