At the time, Simonett had lost most of his music gear, thanks to a group of enterprising car thieves who\'d ransacked his vehicle while he played a show with his previous band. Left with nothing more than an acoustic guitar, he began piecing together a new band, this time taking inspiration from bluegrass, folk, and other genres that didn\'t rely on amplification. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Simonett hadn\'t played any bluegrass music before, and he filled his lineup with other newcomers to the genre, including fiddler Ryan Young (who\'d previously played drums in a speed metal act) and bassist Tim Saxhaug. Along with mandolinist Erik Berry and banjo player Dave Carroll, the group began carving out a fast, frenetic sound that owed as much to rock & roll as bluegrass. </span></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Their crossover appeal has landed them on the #1 spot of Billboard’s Bluegrass Charts on every record they’ve released while playing marquee festivals like Coachella, ACL Fest, and Lollapalooza. Countless tours with diverse artists ranging Shakey Graves, </span><span style="font-weight:400">Zach Bryan, Wilco, Caamp, Mt Joy, Willie Nelson, Avett Brothers, Lord Huron and many more have followed solidifying a loyal fanbase. Their last full length album </span><em><span style="font-weight:400">A</span></em><em><span style="font-weight:400">lpenglow </span></em><span style="font-weight:400">was produced by Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy. 2025 began with the band releasing a cover of Bon Iver’s “For</span><span style="font-weight:400"> Emma</span><span style="font-weight:400">” with Caamp’s Taylor Meier (aka Sumbuck) on lead vocals. A few new collaborations are set to be announced in the coming weeks.</span></p><p>-----</p><p><a href="https://www.wildhorsesmn.com/"><strong>Wild Horses</strong></a></p><p><span style="font-weight:400">Wild Horses are husband & wife from northern Minnesota living off-grid in a cabin</span> <span style="font-weight:400">hand-built in between tours.
