About Me

As a band, The Grass are a melting pot of musical styles; three chord country, jangley folk-rock, gritty 50s style power chording, mammoth arena rock and spirited do-wop group sing-a-longs all find their place in the music. Inspired by old records and ancient concert footage, the members of The Grass joined together in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia to play music that sounds like all their favorite bands performing simultaneously. While trying to play as often as possible, The Grass have appeared at rock n roll bars, country clubs, art galleries, discos, hunting lodges, museum openings, book readings, graduation ceremonies, lunch hours, and library socials, and they will continue to play whenever they are allowed.Buy Now! Oranges -- Buy Now! Mulgrave --If you want us to come play in your town then buy our cds so we can pay for gas and beer! "Shiny New Rifle" on Jam Sessions (Nintendo DS) video for "Gator"The Grass.
