BIOGRAPHY
Urban Monroes will be performing at Eastside Bluegrass Concert Series on July 24th 2012 at 7pm in support of Mark Phillips and III Generation.
“Fast paced and highly energetic, the band performs both original and traditional bluegrass with a style and delivery uniquely its own.”
Fashioned from the heart of tradition and infused with adrenaline, the Urban Monroes’ contemporary bluegrass style is an outgrowth of the combined skills of some of the Pacific Northwest’s finest talent. As individuals the Urban Monroes have earned bluegrass instrument championships, a National Endowment for the Arts award and songwriting accolades. They have been featured on the Emmy award winning PBS series Art Beat and their musical experiences have taken them around the world. As a band they have excited audiences from some of bluegrass’ biggest venues with a fully charged stage presence and an intricate delivery.
Like the band’s name itself, the music is a combination of the traditional and the original with each influencing the other. Bluegrass has the ability to be sledge hammer hard, technically intricate, highly arranged and spontaneously explosive all at the same time and that’s the energy the band wants to capture.
