Thundering Bass, Screaming Guitar, and Rowdy Drums drive the freight train of country-fried rock that is San Diego, CA's Mudgrass. Their original music ranges from heart wrenching to heart stopping, and all points in between. Dave Lowenstein (bass/vocals), Brennan Orndorff (guitar/vocals), and Mark Markowitz (Drums) formed Mudgrass in late 2010 after weekly barbecue jam sessions grew into hours of live material for their first gig. Drawing upon years playing together in a previous five piece Alt Country Band (Shoestring Strap), the members of Mudgrass stripped down their old song arrangements and started writing new material. Call it a short attention span, or maybe just a love for the bizarre, but their choices in cover songs include Black Sabbath, Spinal Tap, and The Price is Right theme song.

With over 100 shows together in this band and others, Mudgrass keeps it tight. Soulful vocals and blistering guitar intertwine over a solid rhythm section, finding their sound somewhere between The Drive By Truckers and Gram Parsons.

Mudgrass just finished their debut album "Just That Way", a 12 song journey through all 6 kinds of music: Rock and Roll, Country and Western, and Rhythm and Blues. Recorded live with minimal overdubs, the true raw essence of the band is right there for all to hear. 

Mudgrass plays all night, plays it hard, and plays for keeps. It's Just That Way.
