Double Bass New to the bluegrass scene (recordings included)

[Alex Jenkins]

Hey everybody,

I usually stay more towards the classical side of TB, but I figured I might put something up and get some feedback on it.

I've been playing classical for a number of years, as well as some jazz and bass guitar and fairly recently, I've started up a pseudo bluegrass/folk rock band. Let me know what you guys think and if you have any feedback for me because I'm new to the bluegrass scene.

Thanks,
Alex

I like it, it sounds really good. Can you get your band on iTunes? Don't know how that works, but I might buy those tracks.

Thanks guys. I don't know if we can really get on iTunes. Once we put out a real album, maybe I'll post a link to it.

Thanks for the kind words guys.

Hey guys,

Just remembered this thread and thought I'd let ya'll know that The Whiskey Collection EP is finally up on iTunes!

We just put some videos of a recent house party we did up on YouTube as well. If you've got some time, check them out and let me know what you think.

Happy New Years to everybody!

Sounds great! Bass sounds good in the mix.

As a proud Kentucky boy who lives a stones throw down Bill Monroe highway from Little Nashville (not joking at all) I can say with all the respect and love in the world that it sounds not a thing like Bluegrass music....It sounds awesome technically, great lyrics, pro recording...but it just ain't bluegrass.

Don't take offense, I'm not trying to bring you down at all, the music sounds really fantastic, it just doesn't really fit that genre. Bluegrass has a very specific style of singing and playing. You certainly sound inspired by bluegrass but I wouldn't call it that.

Call it NYC folk.

Here are examples of bluegrass music....

I love your music. Very Creative.

It's a shame that the "marketing powers that be" think that everything has to be filed away in neat little pigeon-holes. I think they presume that the public is as lacking in intelligence as they are.

Maybe you could come up with your own category name. You definitely have your own sound, but IT AIN'T BLUEGRASS!

You guys sound good!

 

[Bass Doc]

Man I LOVE your sound!

However, I must agree that it is NOT Bluegrass.

Perhaps you could fall better in the "Newgrass" category.

Your sound reminds me in some ways of Railroad Earth.

Let us know if you make a CD, I'll buy one.
