When their instrumental prowess earned them a vast following on social media, childhood friends turned all-star act Shadowgrass found sudden success. But as a young band, the expectations that went along with a large audience proved daunting. “We felt a lot of pressure to make something uniquely us, because we had such a big following, and we felt that they deserved more than what we had given them as of yet,” the band explains. The group dug deep into their own musicality and tried to block out the noise for their sophomore release, All That Will (released October 4, 2024). “It turned out that dropping those self-imposed expectations and just writing and making music for our own enjoyment was the key to finding our collective voice and making a record we are all proud of.”
Shadowgrass began in 2014 when Clay Russell (banjo), Luke Morris (mandolin), and Kyser George (guitar) were jamming at the Grayson County Fiddler’s Convention in Elk Creek, Virginia. Before their first real show, the name Shadowgrass was suggested simply because they thought it sounded “cool.” Kyser, Clay, and Luke were just 9, 13, and 14 years old at the time. Now in their early twenties, their influences and listening habits have evolved, but the group has always grown in the same direction musically. They’ve since welcomed fiddle player Madison Morris, who also lends vocals and songwriting prowess, and bass player Evan Campfield. Luke and Madison trade off lead vocals and harmonize seamlessly. Their commitment to songwriting adds new dimensions to their sound, allowing them to resonate far beyond the traditional bluegrass and jam-band communities.
As a very young band that has already been playing together for a decade, Shadowgrass shares a rare and deep bond. “We’ve grown up together and have watched each other evolve into the people we are today,” they say. “It sounds cliché, but we definitely act more like siblings than bandmates.” On All That Will, the group explores themes of anxiety, uncertainty, and the search for identity. Through it all, their musical brotherhood has guided them, pushing their artistry to thrilling new heights — the perfect energy to fill the stage at Boulder’s legendary Fox Theatre this March.
