Shadowgrass cover

Shadowgrass (self-released, April 2022) is the self-titled debut album of Shadowgrass, a band formed in 2014 when banjoist Clay Russell, mandolinist Luke Morris and guitarist Kyser George, then aged between nine and fourteen, played together at the Grayson County Fiddlers Convention in Virginia. The members come from Virginia, North Carolina and Tennessee and grew up around old-time music, bluegrass festivals and fiddlers’ conventions, where they first competed together and settled on the name. As they started listening to more progressive and jam-oriented music, their sound moved toward what the band calls jamgrass, with a mix of original songs and selected covers.

A vinyl pressing of the album, limited to about 150 copies, followed in 2023. Fiddler Madison Morris joined in 2021 and bassist Evan Campfield in 2022, and the band’s second album, All That Will, came out in October 2024.
