Gangstagrass brings unique mashup-style to Snowmass

The band Gangstagrass will be playing in Snowmass tonight as part of the free summer concert series. The band mixes bluegrass and hip-hop, and you may have heard their music during FX’s Justified. Rench, the lead producer of the group spoke with Aspen Public Radio’s Patrick Fort.

Highlights from their conversation...

"There's no drums in bluegrass  so I could hear how easily you could add those as samples on top of a beat."

"I think they think it's going to be a novelty when they first hear the idea."

"(Justified) has given us some fans across the country and we can tour in different ways than we could have otherwise."
