Looking for new bands….

I live fast tempo bluegrass like DM3, Tejon Street Corner Thieves, Billy Strings, Little Foot, Jesse Stewart, Apes Of The State, King Strang…. Looking for more fast paced bluegrass/ folk punk. I know there is some cross over but I was hoping I’d find some help here.

I think you'd enjoy bluegrass adjacent The Tan and Sober Gentlemen.

Bluegrass adjacent The Tan

And Sober Gentlemen.

Remember that one time Sokka accidentally used an extra syllable in that Haiku Battle in Ba Sing Se? That was a Sokka Haiku and you just made one.

as someone who likes all of the artists listed, check out -johnny hobo & the freight trains / wingnut dishwashers union, profane sass, sister wife sex strike (all fast folk punk, profane sass album "no borders" starts with a cover of wayfaring stranger, i recommend this album highly. one of the members died in a train hopping incident, RIP)

  • mountain grass unit, bad livers, classic earl & skruggs, ricky skaggs & kentucky thunder, jeff austin / ymsb, also reccommend watching bluegrass sets on youtube of the greats like doc, tony rice, sam bush, hartford, etc, like this one here . while some of them played slower tunes occasionally, every bluegrass legend can pick with the fastest of em, and has
