About Me

...."Feed & Seed is a shot of Hank Williams, followed by a shot of Evan Williams, and chased down with that subdued, bittersweet flavor that is Bellingham bluegrass." --What's Up! Magazine
Feed & Seed is a true anomaly in modern bluegrass. Disregarding "newgrass" and "jamgrass," they pick up where pioneers of the genre left off, creating a familiar yet fresh sound. With their disarming youth and high-energy live shows, Feed & Seed has logged several thousand miles on the odometer while their CD "McKinley's Ghost" receives radio play across the country. They show no shame in playing classic songs alongside soon-to-be-classic originals. The readers of What's Up! Magazine voted the band "Best Bluegrass" in both 2006 and 2007. Whether playing in rowdy, smoke-filled bars, at countryside weddings or on festival stages, Feed & Seed is a band that stands out.
