Paper Bird, an indie-pop bluegrass group out of Boulder, Colo., talk about their new release A Sky Underground, which mixes banjo, trombone, and a host of other instruments to create a vintage sound that wouldn't be out of place coming from an antique radio.
Bolder Sounds Bluegrass Banjo
RAZ: Caleb, you play the banjo. And of course, you know, a lot of people hear the banjo, and they instantly think bluegrass. But there is a - kind of a bluegrass sound to a lot of your music, don't you think?
SUMMERIL: Yeah. Yeah, of course. I've been influenced by it, for sure. And I love that style of music. But it's nice to not get pigeonholed, as an instrumentalist, in one type of music or the other. You know, some people do think the banjo is only a bluegrass instrument, which - it's a great one, but it can also do a lot more. And I like exploring the boundaries of where it can go. 2ff7e9595c
