Grandpa's Cough Medicine Outlaw Bluegrass

Grandpa’s Cough Medicine does not
play your grandpa’s bluegrass. They fall squarely into what is being called
“outlaw bluegrass” by many folks. With songs about corrupt politicians,
executing would-be thieves, heavy metal induced killing sprees, the joys of
pickin’ and many a drinkin’ song, GCM veers away from many of the traditional
subjects so often heard in bluegrass music. You won’t hear a gospel song, nor a
cabin song. You’re much more likely to hear about a jealous lover’s
misadventures with a chainsaw, or the exploits of a crooked lawman. The sound
of flat picked guitar, Scruggs style banjo and thumping upright bass bring an
organic yet aggressive backdrop to their two part harmony vocals. Live shows
are full throttle affairs, filled with blazing instrumentals and original
tunes. 

Grandpa’s Cough Medicine will play in benefit for WSLR-LP
96.5 on Thursday, September 12th @ 8pm at the Fogartyville Community
Media and Arts Center. Tickets are $8 in advance and $10 at the door.  Advance tickets are available at wslr.org.
