Classically informed bluegrass by Casey James Holmberg and Noah Yanicki
“This crossover banjo/bass duo formed when Noah Yanicki & Casey Holmberg met at UCLA. Both musicians shared a love for bluegrass and began to explore the space around the idiom.”
“What has emerged is a form of classically informed roots music – a blend of the string arrangements on Nico’s Chelsea Girl and the banjo playing of Béla Fleck, perhaps.”

“The new blend of musical composition and musicianship between them marked the sensation of that first impression…they push against the form from both bluegrass and classical forms; they are teaching the form itself new moves.”
