Description:
Brushfire, based in Asheville, North Carolina, is spreading their special blend of toe tappin', shoe shufflin’ “stankgrass” from high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains to lands beyond. Their strikingly original music is on the edge of today’s ever-evolving newgrass movement, and sizzles with a wide range of musical tastes ranging from traditional bluegrass, to reggae, to unpredictable improvisational rides.
With lyrical hooks that will capture your imagination and intricate arrangements that will dazzle your ears, Brushfire is exploding with musical chemistry. At the core of this talented band are the Saylor Brothers, who have been playing and composing music together for over a dozen years. The Brothers have meshed their skills with the unmatched drumming prowess of Ian Cunningham and the bass work of Bryan White to produce this fiery phenomenon that always leaves audiences begging for more.
Powered by captivating live shows and the independent release of their album, Stankgrass, in late 2004, Brushfire is scorching the southeastern music scene. The group is receiving airtime on Chapel Hill’s WXYC and has delivered live studio performances on Western North Carolina’s WNCW. It's smooth, it's stanky, and it comes straight from the heart of the Southern Appalachians. Watch out, Brushfire is spreading!
