Episode Synopsis
KGNU’s Greg Schultz welcomed Smorgasgrass, a Colorado-based bluegrass group known for blending traditional sounds with fresh, original material. The multi-generational ensemble features John Pierce on bass, Sean McFarland on banjo, and Rowan Geddes on mandolin—each bringing their unique background and youthful energy to the band. During the live in-studio session, they shared insights on their upcoming debut album, highlighting songs that focus on themes like connection, mental health, and resilience. They also discussed their shift away from typical bluegrass topics toward more meaningful storytelling, previewed upcoming shows including one at Evergreen’s Little Bear, and closed with Rowan’s original fiddle tune “Snail’s Ascent,” performed in authentic bluegrass style.
