About the Music~
Despite the Montana namesake, Gallatin Canyon makes their home in Charlottesville, Virginia, where the band was founded in 2011. True to their Virginia roots, the band is known for traditional bluegrass music with a unique and modern sensibility. Nodding to the bluegrass past with a traditional spin, Gallatin is also known for rebooting tunes from both the classic country and classic rock genres. From Flatt & Scruggs and Bill Monroe, to Johnny Cash and the Grateful Dead, at any given show, you can expect to hear a vibrant, eclectic blend crossing multiple musical genres.
After a few years of musical stagnation, these three fromage inspired former members of the Old Time Snake Milkers have fermented their musical vision into a brand new experience. The Americana Cheese Product likes their music the same whey they like their curds, aged. They draw their inspiration from the dawn of the radio and the subsequent folk revival of the sixties and seventies. Like a fresh mozzarella, their sound stretches across genres. Their melodic Brie-like creaminess is counteracted by the stilton-esque pungency of their vocals. Featuring Colby Pegg-Joplin (Fiddle) Sam Stallings ( Banjo/Guitar) and Ryan Grant ( Bass)
