Horseshoes and Hand Grenades at the Musk Ox Farm
The Music with Musk Ox concert series continues with Horseshoes and Hand Grenades!
After seven years, three albums, innumerable sold out shows, and countless beers, bluegrass mavericks Horseshoes & Hand Grenades appropriately consider themselves a family on a wild, wonderful, and often whacky roller coaster. The bond between the quintetDavid C. Lynch [harmonica, accordion, spoons, vocals], Collin Mettelka [fiddle, mandolin, vocals], Russell Pedersen [banjo, fiddle, vocals], Adam Greuel [guitar, dobro, vocals], and Samual Odin [bass]fuels their creativity and chemistry on stage and in the studio.
Sometimes, it feels like were modern day cowboys on some kind of strange journey, Adam affirms with a laugh. Were five friends who set out to do something we enjoy doing, meet interesting people, see old friends, and make some new buddies along the way. Because of that, everything happens organically.
Thats been the case since these five musicians first met in Stevens Point, WI at college, joined forces, and hit the road post-graduation in 2013. They have ignited stages alongside everyone from Greensky Bluegrass, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Infamous Stringdusters, and Trampled By Turtles to Railroad Earth, Merle Haggard, and Marty Stuart in addition to appearances at festivals such as Delfest, High Sierra Music Festival, Blue Ox Music Festival, Northwest String Summit, John Hartford Memorial Festival, and many more. Their three albumsAnother Round [2012], This Old Town [2013], and Middle Western [2015]have spawned fan favorite hits, including Get Down To It, Stuck On Your Mind, and Whiskey.
In many ways, everything set the stage for the 2018 offering, The Ode.
It marks a point of growth, explains Adam. Weve got the bluegrass burner type tunes were known for on there, but were experimenting with other elements. Little pieces of everybody are encapsulated in this record. For the first time, we were really conscious of allowing our respective musical curiosities into the fold. Sam drops in a jazz and classical feel. Dave brings that Zydeco, Cajun, and old school blues vibe. Collin turns up with this kinda pop folk energy, and Russell gives us the old-timey banjo feel. For me, Im trying to play out my singer-songwriter curiosities. There are five songwriters in the band, and weve gotten better at harnessing our individual creativity and bringing it to the collective.
