Review

Blueground Undergrass consists of Jeff Mosier (banjo), David Blackmon (fiddle), Matt Williams (guitar), Francisco Fattoruso (bass) and Matthew Cowley (drums). Faces, the band's fourth album, showcases its high-energy bluegrass hybrid style, which leaves plenty of room for improvisation. Special guests include Col. Bruce Hampton (Aquarium Rescue Unit) on pedal steel, Jimmy Herring (Phil Lesh and Friends, Allman Brothers Band) on guitar and Gary "El Buho" Gazaway on trumpet. In addition to eight scintillating originals, Faces includes cover songs of Guy Clark ("Dublin Blues"), Ralph Stanley ("Clinch Mountain Backstep"), Bill Danoff ("Potter's Wheel") and Jerry Garcia/Robert Hunter ("Black Muddy River").

Formed originally in 1998, Blueground Undergrass developed a solid reputation and nationwide following by playing its multi-faceted music mix across the country. The band has always been known for its exciting live shows and eclectic arrangements of various roots music styles, along with rock. Its sonic "wall of twang type sound" pleases the whole spectrum of fans from hippies to cloggers to rockers, taking Blueground Undergrass to the brink of almost moshpit energy, yet guiding the show with clear song-driven clarity along the way.

A veteran of the jam band scene, Jeff Mosier has consistently remained on the cutting edge of experimental music. He was a founding member of Col. Bruce Hampton's original Aquarium Rescue Unit, and over the years, has performed on stage with Widespread Panic, the Allman Brothers Band, Leftover Salmon, and Phish. In 2002, he played banjo on Leftover Salmon's first tour after the tragic loss of banjoist Mark Vann. Mosier then toured with Phish in 1994, prompting "The Phish Companion" to state: "Perhaps no guest artist has had as great an influence on the band's history as the Reverend Jeff Mosier."

David Blackmon's world-class fiddle playing has also been recognized by a number of bands, including Widespread Panic, who utilized his talents on the group's Space Wrangler and Ain't Life Grand albums.
