<p>We're stoked this week to have Luke Black and Drury Anderson of The Mountain Grass Unit as our guests on No Simple Road! The Mountain Grass Unit consists of three Birmingham pickers, Drury Anderson (mandolin and vocals), Luke Black (acoustic guitar and banjo), and Sam Wilson (upright bass). With the addition of Luke Black and Sam Wilson on harmonies, The Mountain Grass Unit has established the firm foundation 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.&nbsp;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. The youthful exuberance and energy they bring to the stage is always remarkable.&nbsp;</p><br><p>We talk with the guys about:</p><ul><li>Their experience attending Berklee College Of Music.</li><li>How they have explored and developed their vocal chops.</li><li>The was they got Sam to join the band and play the upright bass.</li><li>How rap rhythms influence their sound.</li><li>If they are feeling the wave of momentum behind them and how it is affecting their world.</li><li>How they came to learn about Jamgrass and the way the community has taken them in.</li><li>Where they see themselves fitting into the wider tapestry of the musical community,</li><li>How they deal with playing for rowdy crowds.</li><li>Some of the kindness and love they've found on the road.</li></ul><p>... and much, much more!</p><br><p>Head over to <a href="https://mountaingrassunit.wordpress.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.mountaingrassunit.wordpress.com</a> to learn more!</p><br><p><strong>INTRO MUSIC PROVIDED BY - WILL HANZA OF ESCAPER</strong></p><br><p><strong>-Grab your tickets now for Skull &amp; Roses Festival April 19th - 23rd at the hallowed grounds of the Ventura County Raceway! </strong></p><p><a href="https://skullandroses.com/box-office/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.skullandroses.com</strong></a></p><br><p><strong>-FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></p><br><p><strong>-Make Sure to visit our friends at </strong><a href="https://www.portlandwings.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Fire On The Mountain</strong></a><strong> for some amazing food at one of the 3 location in the Portland area or one of the 2 location in the Denver area!</strong></p><br><p><strong>-CHECK OUT THE NSR EXCLUSIVE BETA PREVIEW OF </strong><a href="https://venuellama.com/nsr/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.venuellama.com</strong></a></p><br><p><strong><em>MUSIC IN THE COMMERCIALS BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><strong><em>ANDREW HENDRYX</em></strong></p><br><p><strong><em>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</em></strong></p><p><a href="https://chilldrenofindigo.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong><em>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</em></strong></a></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <a href="https://www.osirispod.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong></a>.

Along with all fo this and their own festival, The Big What?, the band has carved out their own niche in the live music community and continues to grow nationally with sold out headlining performances throughout the United States.</p><br><p>BIG SOMETHING IS:</p><p>Nick MacDaniels- Guitar, Lead Vocals</p><p>Matt Laird - Bass</p><p>Josh Kagel - Keys, Trumpet</p><p>Casey Cranford - Sax, EWI</p><p>Jesse Hensley - Lead Guitar</p><p>Ben Vinograd - Drums</p><br><p>Head over to: <a href="https://bigsomething.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">www.bigsomething.com</a> for your info, merch, and more!</p><br><p><br></p><p><strong>No Simple Road Intro Music Created By ESCAPER</strong></p><p><br></p><ul><li><strong>GET YOUR TICKETS FOR SKULL AND ROSES FESTIVAL </strong><a href="https://skullandroses.com/box-office/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>NOW RIGHT HERE</strong></a>!</li><li><strong>FREE SHIPPING</strong> from <a href="https://shoptourbus.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Shop Tour Bus</a> Use The PROMO CODE: <strong>nosimpleroad</strong></li><li><strong>Head over to </strong><a href="https://venuellama.com/nsr" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>www.venuellama.com/nsr </strong></a><strong>to sign up for the exclusive beta version </strong></li><li><strong>Make Sure to visit our friends at </strong><a href="https://www.portlandwings.com/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>Fire On The Mountain</strong></a><strong> for some amazing food at one of the 3 locations in the Portland area or one of the 2 locations in the Denver area!</strong></li></ul><p><br></p><p><strong>OUTRO MUSIC BY AND USED WITH PERMISSION OF:</strong></p><p><strong>CHILLDREN OF INDIGO</strong></p><br><p>No Simple Road is part of <strong>OSIRIS MEDIA</strong>.

Though both came to prominence associated with the Grateful Dead, Tom as keyboard player from 1968 to 1970, and Bob as an engineer, programmer, and occasional performer from 1987 to 1995, this music is Dead-like only in its wide-open, wholly improvisational exploration of a vast musical universe with only one rule:&nbsp;does the result, said Bralove, “feel like Dose?”</p><br><p>This talk takes us all over the map of the 100 Acre Wood!
