Golden Grass is the band's fifth album. We wrote it about the current wave of string bands coming out of California that are creating a new take on an old style of music. They start with their foundations in traditional bluegrass and incorporate folk, rock, and jam elements to form that Western ""Golden Grass"" sound. Lots of great string bands have come out of California, like AJ Lee & Blue Summit, Molly Tuttle, and even going back to Old & In the Way who were trailblazers for this type of sound. It's about taking the heart and soul of bluegrass and infusing it with everything we love about music today.
