SUMMARY:Damn Tall Buildings
DESCRIPTION:“If you like your bluegrass served with a little punch\, a
 ttitude\, grit and gravy\, with that busking spirit that was so present 
 and palpable in the early incarnations of Old Crow Medicine Show and mad
 e your realize that string band music could be so much more than fuddy-d
 uddy reenactments by crusty ol’ relics\, then the Damn Tall Buildings 
 will slide in nice as a welcome edition to your listening rotation. Blue
 grass at heart\, but pulling from a wide range of influences including s
 wing\, ragtime\, jazz\, and even a hint of contemporary perspective in t
 he songwriting\, they offer virtually unmatched energy and enthusiasm\, 
 underpinned by intelligent songs that don’t skimp on the infectiousnes
 s…” – Savingcountrymusic.com\n\nIn their early days\, Damn Tall Bu
 ildings didn’t rehearse – they busked. Now\, whether live or on reco
 rd\, the band still radiates the energy of a ragtag crew of music studen
 ts playing bluegrass on the street. But anchoring that energy is their i
 nstrumental chops\, their strong songwriting\, and their varied influenc
 es that stretch beyond bluegrass\, even beyond American roots music alto
 gether. Whether sharing lead vocals and instrumental solos or blending t
 heir voices into loose\, joyous harmony\, the three members of Damn Tall
  Buildings (guitarist/lead vocalist Max Capistran\, bassist/lead vocalis
 t Sasha Dubyk\, and fiddler/vocalist Avery Ballotta) blend elements of b
 luegrass\, blues\, roots-rock and vintage swing to create a captivating\
 , high-energy sound. Since their busking days\, they’ve made three alb
 ums: 2014’s Cure-All\, 2015’s self-titled\, and their forthcoming th
 ird album\, Don’t Look Down. The band has also relocated to Brooklyn\,
  NY and toured widely\, sharing stages with Sierra Hull and the Californ
 ia Honeydrops and appearing at festivals like Grey Fox Bluegrass Festiva
 l\, Philadelphia Folk Festival\, and Freshgrass Festival\, where they to
 ok second place in the 2016 band competition. Their lyrics find beauty a
 nd glory in the mundane\, workaday struggle of everyday life: time keeps
  passing\, you don’t like your job\, you drink too much\, you laugh wi
 th your friends\, you search for a home\, and you dream about what else 
 might be out there. You carry on. This is what Damn Tall Buildings sings
  about\, what they seek to share with their audience.
