City and County events like Fall Festivals, Concerts in the Park and holiday celebrations are all about community. So is this bluegrass band.
Maybe it was the movies – O Brother, Where Art Thou?, Cold Mountain, Inside Llewyn Davis, and the rousing “Dueling Banjos” of Deliverance – that brought bluegrass music to more mainstream audiences. Or most likely it’s just the music itself, brimming with home-grown authenticity, nostalgia, heartache, rhythm, and rhyme. Bluegrass is good time music with broad appeal.
But as The Storytellers bring their act to audiences at fairs and festivals, parades and summer concerts, street fairs and farmers markets, it is clear that bluegrass isn’t simply one thing. It’s evolving. It’s jamgrass and country blues, old-time folk and progressive bluegrass.
And it has a broad appeal that stops people in their tracks. The Storytellers see it all the time at public events. As the fiddles and guitars start playing grassy covers of beloved, recognizable songs, the audience builds, heads nod, and feet tap. Invariably, happy souls begin to dance.
Cities, counties, park districts and municipalities of all kinds look for those genres and performers who can capture the attention of event attendees. Even better is when you have a “name” group that draws crowds in the first place. The Storytellers have been doing just that in Southern California. This group of five musician-singers are driving the California Roots scene and are known for their covers of The Stanley Brothers, The Carter Family, Doc Watson, and Robert Hunter.
The Storytellers are musicians who have performed together for 7 years. They harmonize in ways that only a close-knit band can do. They have headlined bluegrass festivals and performed at regional fairs. They are professionals who aren’t just expert on guitar, fiddle, mandolin, bass and washboard. They infuse their civic shows with good, family-friendly humor and banter and create a musical and personal rapport with the audience like few do.
The band has formed long-time alliances with City of Los Angeles, County of San Bernardino, City of Simi Valley, City of Santa Clarita, County of Los Angeles, County of Orange and more.
