Old Time Music Fusion for a Contemporary World (Bluegrass-Rock!):

Banjo Mitch McConnell and the Senators

“Banjo Mitch” McConnell spent his life attending Old Time (the precursor to Bluegrass) jams and evolving his musical skill. Taking first place in the Banjo competition at Finger Lakes Grassroots Festival of music and dance, Mitch has been performing along the east coast and cross-country, wowing audiences with his award winning claw hammer skill,

This recent endeavor melds Mitch’s extensive knowledge of Old Time music with the contemporary sounds of electric bass, drum kit, and non-traditional guitar backups. His group hits the sweet spot where traditional mountain music intersects with an audience-pleasing contemporary beat, and even ventures into the rock-n-roll realm with a few covers.  It’s definitely upbeat, high-energy, and at times almost raunchy as a mountain holler.
