The Blackberry Bushes Stringband

About Me

The Blackberry Bushes are an acoustic stringband of four prolific songwriters and multi-instrumentalists. Their music is progressive americana "like someone threw a radio from yesteryear high into the treetops..." Their repetoire of original, bluegrass, and traditionally twisted music is infused with their love of indie, jazz, punk and alternative styles. They have been dubbed the "Mountain Divas" and Olympia's "Sirens of Indiegrass". They are Persephone and her sirens singing songs you have never heard but always known. In the summer of 2004 they recorded their first album Moon Pie. KAOS 89.3 charted Moon Pie with the College Media Journal, and their sophmore album, Creatures of Habit was charted as ..1 on KAOS 89.3 Olympia for the months of July and August 2006. Bonded by their love of music, mountains, and legwarmers they perform regularly in bars, cafes, galleries, street corners, festivals, and radio stations. They have touched hearts, inspired laughter and instigated dancing with uncommon ease.
