UNCOMMON GROUND
Uncommon
Ground, is a hot alternative bluegrass group that is on a mission
to flex the boundaries of traditional music. They possess razor-sharp
vocals, fiery instrumental abilities and a rapidly growing repertoire
of well-crafted tunes. “Uncommon Ground” is schooled
in tradition yet is able to stretch out in inspired improvisation.
In short, “Uncommon Ground” is as fresh an addition
to the bluegrass—make that, the music—scene as has
come along in many a year. Uncommon Ground draws on the talents
of Michael Kobetitsch, Sara Della Posta and Wayne Fugate, all
long-time veterans of the Bluegrass scene who have performed
with a host of musical luminaries, along with Rachel Handman
and Phil Helm, two principles in the Hudson Valley Philharmonic
whose technical precision, fertile inventiveness, surprising
touches and mastery of the Bluegrass genre, give the band a distinctive,
signature voice.
