Wide Open Spaces lives up to their name by playing "bluegrass without borders." Combining the traditional sounds of fiddle, banjo, mandolin, guitar and bass with modern song-writing, jazzy - rock edged arrangements and uber-tight 3 part harmonies, they take audiences on a musical joy ride that have some people saying "I can't believe that's bluegrass!" The 'Spaces' are Comprised of charter members of the award winning (Phoenix - Best Acoustic Act, Winterhawk Bluegrass Festival Band Competition) former bad boys of newgrass, Acoustic Planet; bluegrass wunderkinds, the Oakhurst Boys; along with Mud Rocheleau-Demers of the famed acoustic duo, Chuck and Mud. Whether you prefer beautiful Celtic fiddle reels, ripping Sam Bush mandolin solos, banjos from the far side of a distant galaxy, mixed with Beatle-esque or Alison Krauss harmonies - or original songs reminiscent of greats like Jimmy Buffet, Dave Brubeck to Django - come join the "Spaces" for an evening of good-humored alchemy.
