Ragged Union at Nick-a-Nee’s

Ragged Union has evolved musically, from its 2013 beginning, where the focus was solidly on fast picking bluegrass and big harmony vocals, to a more progressive and expansive style of string band music, of which bluegrass is one part of the mix. The band builds its sound on a powerful guitar-based drive. The fiddle and mandolin add rhythmic and harmonic elements, both traditional, and new and unexpected. Soulful, compelling singing brings the song stories to life, and a rich and exciting vibe results, with a creative scope that ranges from the more obviously bluegrass, to an old-time string band vibe, and then to a boundary-less approach with changing feels, time signatures, and complex melodies. The sound has become quite liberated from predetermined limits, the songwriting feels classic and timeless, and the live performance stays true the Ragged Union tradition – intense, playful, and unafraid to take a chance.
