Coming in hot off of a Blue Ox Music Festival performance, Grassfed is a quick-picking string band. Pivoting on the foundation of bluegrass, Grassfed entwines tradition with an eclectic array of influences. Forged by songwriters and driven by instrumental conversation, the band brings a punching sound all its own.

Based out of Kansas City, Grassfed tours nationally across the United States, and has performed internationally in Scotland, and France. Combining genuine lyrics and shredding instrumentals, Grassfed is a must see live experience.
