Delving into the realm of the overlooked, Greenbriar weaves a tapestry of sound that transcends the ordinary. Innovative arrangements breathe new life into timeless folk and fiddle tunes gathered from the enchanting landscapes of Appalachia, all while embracing the ethereal influences of Celtic music and the playful spirit of jazz. Straddling the line between bluegrass and old-time, their music resonates with a unique identity.
Chuck Dicken of Frostburg University hails frontman Shawn Craver as a true torchbearing bard of the Appalachian tradition. Guitarist Josh Luper's avant-garde technique propelled the legendary Wichita band Raging Sea to the prominent stages of the North Texas Irish Festival.
His playing in Greenbriar complements the clawhammer banjo of Luke Craver, a prodigious talent, having captured the title of youth Mid-Atlantic state clawhammer banjo champion at the tender age of seven. This ensemble serves as a testament to Appalachia's rich Celtic legacy, charting the course of its past and illuminating its future.
