Grass It Up - +++CANCELLED+++

  • Black Forest Community Center 12530 Black Forest Road Colorado Springs, CO, 80908 United States (map)

+++TONIGHT’S SHOW HAS BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO WEATHER.+++

Steeped in American music traditions such as bluegrass, folk, ragtime, rock, and country, Grass It Up has shaped a unique brand of Americana that expresses the feeling of life in today's American West.  Their stories translate to timeless songs that touch the hearts of their listeners, and their melodic instrumentation bends the rules.  Grass It Up has been producing their original music since 2005 and is celebrating their 6th full-length album, Borrowed Time, recorded live at the Western Jubilee Recording Company. Grass It Up brings a headline performance and has warmed up the stage for classic performers like the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and the Oak Ridge Boys, and bluegrass bands including Crooked Still, Front Country, the Ragin’ Cajun Doug Kershaw, and the Yonder Mountain String Band.

Grass It Up is renowned for its thought-provoking songwriting, high energy, and engaging live performances. You can find them at iconic venues like Colorado Chautauqua, the Governor’s Mansion, and the Broadmoor Resort. Festival season brings public showcases, including the world-renowned Walnut Valley Festival, Keystone Bluegrass & Brews, High Mountain Hay Fever, Meadowgrass Music Festival, and Bluegrass on the Arkansas.
