The Kickin Grass Band takes the stage, and suddenly you’re captivated by pure, strong voices telling true-to-life stories spiced with innovative bluegrass instrumentation. You fall in love with the rootsy, Americana style, and can’t wait for more. Fortunately, their third release, simply titled The Kickin Grass Band, displays all the chops, emotion and effusive energy of the band’s live show.
The Kickin Grass Band’s songs – some mournful, some jubilant – reflect the depth and breadth of the human experience. Dave Higgs from Nashville Public Radio raves: “Lynda Dawson is a truly gifted songwriter who writes intelligently crafted lyrics, which she marries to unforgettable melodies.”

On the Short Rows

Riding the wave of an ear-catching debut release, extensive southeast touring and the addition of a talented new banjo player, The Kickin Grass Band teamed up with Jerry Brown of the Rubber Room in Chapel Hill, NC to produce this delightful sophomore album. Fresh, original songwriting is a hallmark of the band’s unique sound, and On The Short Rows explores the full range, from the tap-your-foot instrumental “Cloverleaf” to the ballad “Ain’t Got Nothin.” With rich vocals, skilled fiddle and a banjo that lives in the perfect space between Scruggs and Fleck, The Kickin Grass Band brings traditional music to the forefront of modern bluegrass and a new generation of music fans.

Backroads
(Audio CD) 2003

Produced by Steve Dilling of IIIrd Tyme Out, Backroads, showcases the band’s outstanding musical ability as well as their strong songwriting and powerful arranging skills.
The original title track has been hitting home in rural and urban communities alike with a chorus that claims, “They’re bringing in the blacktop, selling all the farms, running up the miles and running out of charm. I wonder to myself what we need all this road for if the backroads ain’t the backroads any more.”
In addition to their fresh originals, The Kickin Grass Band tears into a few traditional and off-the-beaten-path covers, making the album a well-rounded whole and a treat for the ears.
