The Mountain Grass Unit consists of three Birmingham teenage pickers: Drury Anderson (mandolin and vocals)\, Luke Bl ack (acoustic guitar and banjo)\, and Sam Wilson (upright bass). The Mount ain Grass Unit has performed at music festivals\, private functions and mu ltiple music venues\, playing bluegrass tunes and adding a bluegrass touch to country\, jazz\, funk\, rock\, and even metal. They have opened for ba nds such as The Sam Bush Band and Kingfish.
\nTheir fast pace pickin g and acoustic touch make MGU unique. With the addition of Luke Black and Sam Wilson on harmonies\, The Mountain Grass Unit has established a firm f oundation to take on not only the vocal harmonies of traditional bluegrass tunes\, but also the freedom to adapt songs from various genres to an all -acoustic format. Aside from their original songs\, all three are equally comfortable restyling a Tony Rice number\, a classic Grateful Dead tune or covering contemporary acoustic masters like Billy Strings.
\nThe yo uthful exuberance and energy they bring to the stage is always remarkable. Their competency at what they do was best described by Birmingham music p romoter Steve Masterson when the boys performed at his Acoustic Café \; festival: &ldquo\;They don&rsquo\;t just play good for their age\, they play good. Period&rdquo\;. Sam\, Luke and Drury are excited to share with their audiences this new and exciting musical chapter.
