Oakhurst: 06/14/07

Oakhurst - Thursday, June 14, 2007, 5:30 pm Oakhurst is a Denver-based international act with deep Appalachian roots and highly original songs that fuse traditional bluegrass with indie-rock and a citybilly attitude. The band's sound is more rustic and rocking, and less jazzy and jammed, than the typical hybrid bluegrass found in the Rocky Mountain region. The group is also well known for its Guerrilla Grass acoustic assaults.

Artist Bio:

On their fourth album, Coloradobased progressive bluegrass outfit Oakhurst largely abandon the altcountry side of their sound that flourished on previous efforts like Dual Mono and Greenhorn. Even outlaw countryinfluenced rockers like "Soon As The Sun" and "Run Run" and the weepy trucker story "Jim and Nan" are built on the fluid mandolin and banjo lines and speedy tempos of traditional bluegrass as much as the rock and roll stomp of the rhythm section. It's not a coincidence that the album's one song with the least bluegrass influence, the quite ordinary jam band ballad "Crazy," is by some distance Jump In the Get Down's weakest track. The expansive sevenminute epic "Heartstring" is a far more effective blend of singersongwriterstyle rock form and bluegrass style. But the album's heart is in the handful of good oldfashioned bluegrass instrumentals, which are rooted in tradition but played with freshness and vitality that keeps them from sounding like museum pieces. Oakhurst's strongest album so far, Jump in the Get Down is a solid piece of traditionminded bluegrass tempered with just enough of a rock edge to appeal to altcountry and jam band enthusiasts with little patience with or knowledge of the real thing. Think of it as a gateway into the likes of Ricky Skaggs and Kentucky Thunder. - Stewart Mason, All Music Guide
