2017 FARMGRASS FEST BANDS
Shinyribs
Back for their 2nd year in a row, Shinyribs can't wait to bring the house down at Farmgrass Fest '17! A Shinyribs show is an exaltation of spirit. It’s a hip shaking, belly laughing, soul-singing, song-slinging, down-home house party. All styles of American music are likely to be touched on, squeezed on, kissed on by this world class band featuring Winfield Cheek on Keyboards, Keith Langford on Drums, Jeff Brown on Bass and the Tijuana Train Wreck Horns.

Whiskey Shivers
Whiskey Shivers infuse their songs with punk rock energy and a darkly comical light-heartedness, stretching the bluegrass genre to fit whatever they feel is right. Whether they're playing at a backyard house party in Texas, a punk-rock dive bar or a sprawling country music festival, crowds take notice. People put down their phones, pick up their drinks and start dancing!

Hot Club of Cowtown
Since its beginnings in the late 1990s, the Hot Club of Cowtown’s star has continued to rise as its reputation for jaw-dropping virtuosity and unforgettable live shows has become the band’s global brand. Lauded for its “down-home melodies and exuberant improvisation” (The Times, London), the Hot Club has always woven a combination of seemingly disparate styles together to its own magical effect, setting up camp “at that crossroads where country meets jazz and chases the blues away.”

The Lost Pines
Started by Farmgrass founder and president Talia Bryce and back-porch songwriter Christian Ward in 2007, The Lost Pines are excited to play Farmgrass Fest for their 4th year in a row! The Lost Pines never fail to entertain audiences of all ages with their original blend of heart-wrenching high lonesome bluegrass and toe-tappin’ Texas country. With a knack for balancing old with new, fiery picking with soulful vocals and respect for tradition with an eye towards the future, the Lost Pines create music that is both timely and timeless.

High Plains Jamboree
"Like many of their Americana peers, country-grass band High Plains Jamboree celebrate days of old. In the song "Analog," a smart but sweet tune calling out "advertisements on my telephone" and GMOs, mandolin player Brennen Leigh croons, "I'm not down on it just because its new." But few do it with as much verve as this Austin, Texas, foursome. During a performance at East Nashville's Family Wash, the group wooed their audience with a sound that evokes Old Crow Medicine Show and Carolina Chocolate Drops, delivering string-based rave-ups and even a stray murder ballad – the haunting "Rozene" – all from behind a giant 1940s-style microphone."
-Margaret Littman, Rolling Stone

Lil Darlin
Bre Jarvis
Bre Jarvis calls the Texas Hill Country home. She returned to the verdant landscape of her childhood in 2014, setting aside a blossoming career in theatre to make music instead. At her core a constant songmaker, she follows an impulse toward growth and a need to share her growing collection of songs. She is currently working on her debut album.
The Mismatch
The Mismatch is a band fronted by singer-songwriter Billy Wayne Roy. Good vibes abound from this homegrown, folk-some, americana group.
