Grasslands
Grasslands is a Southern California premier bluegrass band made up of 5 multi-talented veterans of music. They are the best of friends and it shows the minute they step onto the stage enjoying not only entertaining the audience, but enjoying playing the music with each other.
Members in the group have toured throughout the United States and overseas, played at amusement parks, played on folk radio programs, worked as musical accompaniment for theater, television commercials, bluegrass festivals and various other activities. Some of the venues Grasslands has played at include the Huck Finn Jubilee and Parkfield festivals, McCabe's Guitar Shop, the featured band for the Los Angeles and San Diego bluegrass clubs, and KSON Radio.
Grasslands has an eclectic repertoire that covers a wide variety of music and takes inspiration not only from traditional Bluegrass, but from Swing, Country, Western, and Rock-N-Roll classics, all performed in a bluegrass fashion. This always brings their performance level style of entertainment to a diverse and enthusiastic audience!
The members of Grasslands are: Shelah Spiegel plays fiddle, has toured, worked on stage plays and is a music educator; Jim Cooper, plays guitar and is well-known in the Los Angeles music scene; Tim O'Brien, plays resonator slide guitar (Dobro) and has played and recorded locally; Kevin Gore, plays banjo and has toured and recorded; and Fred Wade, plays bass, and has toured and recorded. They represent the best of the Orange, Los Angeles and Kern Counties' bluegrass musicians. This combination of instrumentation allows Grasslands to fit their style of music for any occasion, from large productions, to intimate acoustic back-yard parties. Grasslands also features lead vocalists who blend their voices in varying harmony structures to complement one another throughout their list of material.
