Description
Mountain Grass Unit, from Birmingham, Alabama, is a young quartet redefining bluegrass with a
fresh narrative. Comprised of Drury Anderson (mandolin, vocals), Luke Black (guitar, vocals),
Josiah Nelson (fiddle, vocals), and Sam Wilson (bass, vocals), they blend tradition with bold
exploration. Their journey began with a shared musical passion, forming a sound that merges
bluegrass with country, jazz, funk, rock, and metal influences. Their debut EP, "Runnin’ From
Trouble," released in 2024, showcases their original music and inventive covers, inspired by
legends like Tony Rice and Billy Strings.
Recorded at Nashville’s Hartland Studios, and produced by Mike Harris (Old Crow Medicine
Show), the EP captures their live energy. The leading single, “Hey Mama,” explores life's
transitions with inquisitive lyrics, while “Cicada Song” and “Smugglin’” highlight their funk and
traditional sides.
2024 marked a turning point with performances at Renewal, DelFest and WinterWondergrass,
broadening their audience and deepening their musical exploration. With plans for extensive
touring, festival sets, and new music, Mountain Grass Unit is ready to share their luminous
sound with the world, each performance a new chapter in their unfolding story.
