Join us this Saturday, June 7 from 6-8 PM for Freegrass Trio at Northside Saturday Nights

Freegrass is a trio of musicians (Dan Padley on guitar, Tara McGovern on fiddle, and Blake Shaw on cello and vocals) who have been called a collaborator’s dream team that just so
happen to write and perform their own music as well. The group strives to stretch the limits and wander the lines of genre all while creating the most beautiful music possible.

The name “Freegrass” is inspired both by the group’s goal of being FREE of genre labels and constraints and also by blueGRASS traits such as staying true to your best self and pushing forward.

From Felix Mendelssohn to Mel Tormé, Wheatus to Thelonious Monk, along with Dan Padley’s originals, Freegrass has a bit of everything. Prepare to be wide eyed one moment and the next close your eyes and reap the hypnotizing sounds that emanate from the souls of Freegrass.
