Gangstagrass at the Cambridge Folk Festival 2023
Gangstagrass was one of the most surprising and exhilarating acts at the Cambridge Folk Festival 2023, bringing their unique blend of bluegrass and hip hop to the main stage on Saturday night. The band, led by Brooklyn producer Rench, combines authentic bluegrass instruments and vocals with rap lyrics and beats, creating a new genre that bridges the gap between urban and rural cultures. Gangstagrass is best known for their Emmy-nominated theme song for the FX television show Justified, "Long Hard Times to Come", which they performed with gusto and swagger.
The band’s setlist featured songs from their latest album, No Time For Enemies, which debuted at #1 on the Billboard bluegrass chart in 20202. The album tackles themes such as racism, social justice, unity and hope, with a deep respect for the roots and traditions of both genres.
The band’s chemistry and charisma were evident throughout the show, as they interacted with each other and the crowd with humour and warmth. The band members are Rench (vocals/guitar/beats), Dan Whitener (banjo/vocals), Brian Farrow (fiddle/vocals), R-Son The Voice of Reason (vocals) and Dolio The Sleuth (vocals). They each displayed their impressive musical talents and personalities, creating a dynamic and diverse sound that appealed to both old and young fans of folk and hip hop.
Gangstagrass proved that they are more than just a novelty act, but a serious and innovative force in the music scene. They delivered a stunning performance that was one of the highlights of the Cambridge Folk Festival 2023, showing that rap and grass can indeed mix harmoniously.
