The Blackberry Bushes Stringband on Lopez

The Blackberry Bushes hail from the rain-drenched forests of Olympia, Wash. They take a bluegrass instrumentation, draw from the deep roots of American folk music and add influences from bluegrass, Appalachian old-time, and Indie rock to jazz, pop and alternative country.

They have just released a new EP entitled “At The Break” recorded by Michael Connolly of Empty Sea Studios in Seattle and were voted 2012 Oly Music Awards Judges Best Pick in the Acoustic/Folk/Bluegrass category.
