 Mosier
makes mosaic of genres for musical mongrel
Rev. Jeff Mosier has taken the 22 years he has spent playing bluegrass in
Good Medicine and the 14 years he had hosted a bluegrass radio show and
turned them upside down with Blueground Undergrass, an Atlanta-based outfit
that pets the mongrel known as American roots music with a smooth mix of
bluegrass, blues, country, folk, swing, jazz and rock. Dubbed "psychedelic
hick-hop bluegrass,'' Blueground Undergrass is equally influenced by the
ground-breaking genre-busting of both Bill Monroe, bluegrass' founder, and
Col. Bruce Hampton, the leader of the eccentrically eclectic jam band Aquarian
Rescue Unit, whose original members in the early '90s included Mosier. |
