Greener Grounds broke into the jamtronica music scene early this summer with their debut EP, Photosynthesis, and quickly became noticed as a top talent act in Colorado. The band was voted into a main stage slot at Sonic Bloom by the public, and after catching the festival’s attention with their high energy performance Greener Grounds was added to the ARISE Music Festival.

Greener Grounds picked up an official sponsorship from Grassroots California, who will be producing a Greener Grounds/Grassroots California collaboration hat by mid fall.

Greener Grounds immediate success and unique take on jam band music combined with elements of electronica caught the eye of The Untz, who will be presenting Greener Grounds Fall Tour 2015. The band’s fall tour includes two more major festival performances, as well as dates with Kung Fu, the Magic Beans, the Main Squeeze, Vine Street Vibes, and more. For the full list of Greener Grounds Fall Tour 2015 please visit: www.GreenerGroundsMusic.com/tour.

While clear influences are shown from bands like Lotus, the Disco Biscuits, and Umprhey’s Mcgee, Greener Grounds are placing a great deal of emphasis on developing a sound that is uniquely Greener Grounds. Like other jam bands, live improvisation is crucial to their live experience, however Greener Grounds is focusing just as much on having quality song composition and building a diverse catalogue of songs that have their own unique style. Guitarist Mathew Buelt told Ear Nuggets in a recent interview that, “A lot of bands can jam, and people want to see long jams and stuff, but we want to have really good composed songs to go with our improvisation as well. It’s important to have a good catalogue of songs that have different styles.” Drummer AJ Gillman added, “We want to be able to change your mood in the middle of a song as we’re playing so we pay close attention to the dynamics and details of each of our songs.”

The band is on the rise and definitely a hard working well deserved act to look out for. Be sure to download Greener Grounds Photosynthesis EP for free and catch them this fall! For the most recent news and a full list of Greener Grounds’ tour dates please visit www.GreenerGroundsMusic.com

Following our winter tour we have a spring tour planned, and plan on recording a new album somewhere in between. After that, festival season is going to kick off and we are going to try to stay as busy as possible, have as much fun as possible, and try to grow this beautiful thing we’ve got going on.  2016 is going to be a big year!”

Continuing the conversation about a new album, AJ Gillman (Drums) told the Grateful Web, “As soon as we finished our Photosynthesis EP we wanted to start writing new material. Since then we’ve got a lot of new material and the instant we feel like we have enough we’re going to head back to the studio. We’re talking about a full-length album that may have something like a Kickstarter involved with incentives. We may do vinyl or something like that depending on what our fans want. We’re really eager for our fans to hear our new stuff and we hope to have their support along the way!”

Liver Down The River has followed up their debut EP with a full length album titled Life You Love. The album consists of 13 all original songs that really showcase not just their incredible musical ability, but also their strength in songwriting. The band’s goal was to replicate the magic they bring to their live performances and capture that in a studio setting, and Liver Down The River did just that.

The album opens up with a hard driving tune titled, “State Line” telling the story about hitch hiking across the country and getting stuck in the southland. This is followed by a blazing dark instrumental fueled by myths of a hidden treasure in the Colorado Mountains, once again showcasing their strong lyrical content and ability to write engaging stories within their songs. As the album unfolds tunes inspired by the lessons of growing older, the following of the soul, and ability to keep on moving on, rising clear.

All members of Liver Down The River contributed to create the melodies to enhance the emotions experienced when listening to each song. The group does a great job at incorporating elements of funk, rock, Americana, and jazz into the album, catering towards a more of a Newgrass sound set to please the ears of both traditional bluegrass lovers and jam band fans. Attempting to reflect the beautiful yet powerful, and expansive essence of the Colorado country, the inspiration comes truly… “from living the live you love.” –J.K. Rowling

Life You Love is globally available on all major listening platforms including iTunes, Spotify, Apple Radio, and can be downloaded for free/name your price via the band’s bandcamp.

Liver Down The River celebrated the release of Life You Love at the Animas City Theatre for a sold out performance with support from Fort Collins bluegrass group Hog MaGundy.
