There are a LOT of great shots from last night’s show, but this one clearly shows the amount of fun we have every single night. Check out the rest of B. Hockensmith’s album of our Woodlands Tavern show!
In a little under an hour we’re playing the Artisphere to kick off our current tour. Come out if you can! We’ve played there a couple of times, and it’s such an amazing space.
And, to get you excited for the show, there’s a little article about us up on the Washington Post Express. And apparently I now need to become more adventurous with my food selections, too:
Like a good peanut butter and pickle sandwich, Gangstagrass is proof that the most unlikely pairings can yield delicious results. The Brooklyn, N.Y.,-based band, a hybrid of an old-timey bluegrass troupe and a rap crew, lays down frenzied banjo picking and quick-draw rhymes with equal ferocity.
All I can say is, be there, because it’s going to be entirely incomparable.
We’ve got several festivals lined up this summer, all amazing, but I will say that for me personally there’s nothing better than playing the premier bluegrass festival of the Northeast; especially playing it with America’s favorite bluegrass hip-hop band.
Early lineup has been announced, and the most exciting festival of my career is coming: I'm playing @gfbluegrass!!!!! pic.twitter.com/IYb5q4Tm02

Mark your calendars:
By the time they realize what they’ve done, it will be too late to kick us out of Grey Fox.

Objects are essential to Valentine’s Day memories. You might have childhood memories of the chalky candy you’d get just for showing up to school (and the stacks of perforated cartoon character cards you’d walk home with at the end of the day).
In your early adulthood, you may have moved on to bigger, pricier objects: A dozen roses with fake dew on each petal as a gift for a loved one. Chocolates in a heart-shaped box (that you pretend are for a special someone but are actually for you). Even the experiences left a paper trail–restaurant receipts, credit card bills, brochures for some quaint little bed-and-breakfast up in the Adirondacks. And maybe you thought that this would be the final stage of your Valentine’s experience.
Buckle in your seat belts, because Broken Hearts & Stolen Money is a Valentine’s Day game-changer. While the physical object gains you an extra hidden track, the digital version can be delivered instantly. No matter what your situation is, Broken Hearts & Stolen Money has something for you.
For Those in Relationships
Has a partner been taking a while to get the hint that you’re The One? Gangstagrass’s rendition of “Banks of the Ohio” was recorded just for you. Best listened to by candlelight in the kitchen.
Or are you already committed and ready to take on the world? Turn on “All for One” while you reaffirm your goals for the coming year.
For the Singles
Valentine’s Day may seem inescapable, but not if you ride away fast enough.
You can laugh at the folks on their silly little dates as you drive past blasting “Peaches.”
If you want to cause a little chaos on your way out, change over to “Long Grey River” and leave your past behind.
We received our first Amazon Verified review of Broken Hearts & Stolen Money, and it’s favorable! Check it out here. I hope it helps you make the decision to buy our new album, but don’t stop there! Write your own review and rate our album yourself!
I think my favorite track on the album is Long Grey River, combining stellar banjo from Dan Whitener and R-SON’s flow about a bank robbery and running from the law.
If you have an open mind, then you’ll probably like Gangstagrass and their fusion of the two genres. I do think Bill Monroe would approve of this strange and wonderful music.
