PBJ gone Bluegrass
I’ve been listening to a bunch of country and bluegrass recently - Earl Scruggs, Merle Haggard, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Carter Family, etc - so I was quite pleased when I came across this remix of PB&J’s “Young Folks”.
Performing PB&J (Peter Bjorn and John for those out of the acronym loop) in bluegrass are Dawn Landes and We Sorta Tried bluegrass band. These fellas are from Austin, TX and Dawn is originally from Kentucky but now resides in NYC. While she’s a young artist, she has already had the pleasure to be apart of a Philip Glass, Ryan Adams and Joseph Arthur recording. As well as open for the likes of José Gonzalez, Suzanne Vega, Shannon Wright, Feist, Le Tigre and the one and only Andrew Bird.
She has also been recording and performing with musicians from the bands Hem and The Earlies.
