Jaywalkers confirmed for SpringGrass Festival in May
14 Jan 22
by Nathon Jones
Planning for this year's inaugural SpringGrass bluegrass festival is well under way and we're thrilled to confirm the addition of UK band Jaywalkers who will headline the opening night concert on Friday 13th May 2022 in the new Festival Marquee at The Vault Arts Centre.
Jaywalkers
Jaywalkers are a real melting pot of their collective inspirations and the influences of their musical upbringings. This is evident in their live sets which come to life in their use of Country heartbreak and Bluegrass dynamism applied to issues of the modern day and life as a touring band…mostly stuck on the M6!
As those who have been fortunate enough to catch them in full flight will testify, a Jaywalkers show is an exhilarating experience. UK-based they may be but many from the other side of the Atlantic have complimented them on their particularly stylish delivery of this virtuosic brand of Americana. These three outstanding musicians have developed a tight bond, demonstrated through their well-crafted, tasteful arrangements and ability to bounce ideas around the stage. The combination of powerhouse bass, flame-fingered mandolin, blistering fiddle and three-part harmony pack a punch as fiery as Jay’s lead vocals and make a fuller sound than expected from an acoustic trio.
We're delighted to have secured the band for this year's festival, having originally booked them to perform way back in 2019 (before the...hit the fan!) and we can't wait to welcome them to Dumfries & Galloway for what we're sure will be a fantastic show.
