About Whiskey Mash Band⁠
⁠
High velocity bluegrass ground out of Kansas City, MO. The new-found ensemble thrives on improvisation and genre-bending around core bluegrass instrumentation: guitar, mandolin, (bumpin’) upright bass, and banjo. Expect to see them effortlessly step in and out of a mix of Americana, country, traditional, R&B, blues, and psychedelic music. The group draws on their collective musical inspirations and aspirations to put together an energizing unique and fun performance fit to turn any occasion into a once-in-a-lifetime party.
