   About the grass
After a rolling piano line, “Ain’t Running Scared” lurches to life with a pounding rhythm and weaving guitar riff. Mixing a garage rock delivery with elements of roots and blues, it’s a rawkus and jovulant introduction to The Grass’ latest album, Rogue Waves.

Recorded in Halifax after the band’s core members – brothers Willis Ryan (guitar/vocals) and Dylan Ryan (drums) – returned to their Dartmouth, Nova Scotia roots, the album captures the band’s signature retro-inspired sound.

The Ottawa Xpress boasts Rogue Waves, “fuses Beatlesesque psychedelica with the swagger of old-school Rolling Stones and Neil Young.”

The album also embodies The Grass’ dedication to high-spirited old-fashioned rock n’ roll fun – an enthusiasm that is echoed in the band’s energy-laden live performances.

The vigor of their jangly guitars, and the excitement of their throw-back sound has not only earned the band slots at South by South West, Ottawa Bluesfest and the Halifax Pop Explosion over the past four years, but also garnered them a nomination for Best Country/Bluegrass Recording at the Music Nova Scotia Awards in 2006.

Now, with a newly revamped lineup that includes former Rock Ranger member Daniel Baldwin (bass) and newcomer Ryan Stanley (guitar), The Grass continue to bring their blend of retro roots-rock to new avenues, steadily performing throughout Eastern Canada...

Hi Guys,

I love your music, I can definitely hear some of your influences in your music, thank you for sharing it with me!  It must also be cool that two of you are brothers in the same band too.

I hope you have the chance to tour to Toronto at some point, it would be great to have you here.

Wishing you all the best and continued success in 2010.  Keep in touch.

Much Love,

Mary-Elizabeth Gilbert (Mary)
