Grateful Fred Presents: "Damn Tall Buildings" In Concert
Damn Tall Buildings is a celebrated folk-bluegrass band based in Brooklyn, known for their soulful melodies and intricate instrumentals.
This seasoned trioMax Capistran, Sasha Dubyk, and Avery Ballottahas spent over a decade honing their craft through dedicated touring and recording, creating a distinctive sound that weaves heartfelt lyrics into thoughtful fiddle, guitar, and bass arrangements. Originally honing their skills through busking, they bring infectious energy to their music, blending influences from old-time, blues, and jazz into their songwriting.
With seamless vocal harmonies and captivating instrumental solos, DamnTall Buildings creates a cohesive sound that resonates deeply with audiences, leaving a lasting mark wherever they perform. Their vibrant, well-crafted shows invite listeners to join them on a musical journey, earning critical acclaim for their unique blend that defies categorization while offering a warm and reflective embrace that is both enthusiastic and deeply resonant.
Think of: The Carter Family for the millennial generation. Old Crow Medicine Show meets Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros meets Flatt & Scruggs meets Nickel Creek, with a dash of Avett Brothers and a sprinkle of Johnny Cash. The band coined the term guerrilla roots to describe its sound, which draws on early-20th-century Americana/bluegrass music, repurposed for a modern audience .
The Boston Globe
If you like your bluegrass served with a little punch, attitude, grit and gravy, with that busking spirit that was so present and palpable in the early incarnations of Old Crow Medicine Show and made your realize that string band music could be so much more than fuddy-duddy reenactments by crusty ol relics, then the Damn Tall Buildings will slide in nice as a welcome edition to your listening rotation. Bluegrass at heart, but pulling from a wide range of influences including swing, ragtime, jazz, and even a hint of contemporary perspective in the songwriting, they offer virtually unmatched energy and enthusiasm, underpinned by intelligent songs that dont skimp on the infectiousness...
