Alternative Cosmic Americana and Bluegrass-laced Roots Rock Banjoist Jeff Mosier, one of the earliest music pioneers to merge bluegrass instruments and traditional tunes with the magnetic energy of rock and roll, founded the jamgrass band Blueground Undergrass (BGUG) in 1998 after years of crafting his banjo skills in various bands, playing everything from bluegrass (Good Medicine) to experimental rock (Col. Bruce Hampton and the Aquarium Rescue Unit) to jazz-fusion (The Ear Reverents). Later, Jeff and his brother Johnny (on acoustic and electric guitars) formed The Mosier Brothers Band, a more song-driven ensemble in which their lyrics and harmonies take the front seat. The band’s stellar long-serving rhythm section, percussion, and keys lineup creates eclectic genre-bending arrangements influenced by bluegrass, jazz, psychedelic folk-rock, and alt-country. Entertaining on every level, each performance becomes an immersive musical journey, drawing the audience in as they ride a wave of sonic kinship together.
