W hen their instrumental prowess earned them a vast following on social medi a\, childhood friends turned all-star act Shadowgrass found sudden success . But as a young band\, the expectations that went along with a large audi ence proved daunting. “We felt a lot of pressure to make something uniqu ely us\, because we had such a big following\, and we felt that they deser ved more than what we had given them as of yet.” explains the band. The group dug deep into their own musicality\, and tried to block out the nois e for their sophomore release All That Will (release date: Oct 4\, 2024). “It turned out that dropping those self-imposed expectations and just wr iting/making music for our own enjoyment was the key to finding our collec tive voice and making a record we are all proud of.” Shadowgrass began i n 2014 when Clay Russell (Banjo)\, Luke Morris (Mandolin)\, Kyser George ( Guitar) were jamming at the Grayson County Fiddler’s Convention in Elk C reek\, VA. Sometime before their first real show\, the name Shadowgrass wa s suggested simply because they thought it sounded “cool”. Kyser\, Cla y\, and Luke were 9\, 13\, and 14 years old at the time. Now in their earl y twenties\, their influences and listening habits have changed drasticall y\, but the group has always grown in the same direction musically. They h ave welcomed fiddle player Madison Morris\, who also lends vocals and song writing prowess\, and bass player Evan Campfield. Luke and Madison trade o ff lead vocals\, and harmonies seamlessly with one another. Their commitme nt to and keen interest in songwriting brings additional dimensions to the band\, allowing the group to appeal to listeners outside of the expected jam-band community. As a very young band that has already been playing tog ether for a decade\, Shadowgrass has a unique bond. “We’ve grown up to gether and have watched each other evolve into the people we are today”\ , they say. “It sounds cliche but we definitely act more like siblings t han bandmates”. On All That Will\, the group explores themes of anxiety and uncertainty\, and questioning the people they want to become. Luckily\ , they’ve had each other to share these experiences with\, and it seems that their companionship has only pushed their artistic and musical abilit ies to new heights.
