Who are Sociograss??…
Edinburgh based 6 piece band Sociograss are a rough and rowdy collective of musicians brought together under the love of American roots music. Drawing influence from the folk styles of the Appalacian mountains their unique sound encapsulates elements of oldtime and early country all tied together with bluegrass sensibilities; with ripping solo breaks and soulful vocal harmonies, they deliver performances that hold the essence of a barn dance infused with the energy of a squat show.
Why they made it all up…
Sociograss have always made it all up as they went along… Since exploding onto the Scottish roots and folk scene back in 2019 Sociograss has been succeeding in championing a genre-scape that is little heard north of the border. Starting out in a grassroots music scene with little but the records of days gone by to inform the sound, what choice did they have but to make it all up… and so they did. This album reflects back on their journey all the way from conception. Come along for the ride!
What will the make up next?…
The band is now gearing up for a busy year ahead with more shows, touring and further recording in the pipeline. Having played extensively around the UK and moving into Europe last year the boys have a rip roaring year of music in the headlights. Releasing this record is just the start.
