Bluegrass Trio “Damn Tall Buildings” Rolls into Santa Fe April 18th

- By BILL NEVINS, Staff Writer, bill_nevins@yahoo.com

Damn Tall Buildings will bring their upbeat bluegrass sound to The Kitchen Sink, 528 Jose Street, Santa Fe on April 18th at 7:30 pm in a dance concert presented by Southwest Roots Music. Damn Tall Buildings is a bluegrass trio that dips its musical toes into swing, ragtime, jazz, and country. With influences old as the hills and an infectious dance energy, the trio radiates the energy of a crew of best friends playing bluegrass on the street. They back that energy with instrument­al chops and rock- solid songwritin­g. Damn Tall Buildings is a tight unit equal parts competence and joy. Their choruses are the kind you sing along to with a glass raised into the air.

In 2013, then students at Boston’s Berklee College of Music, the band took their instrument­s to nearby street corners and jammed for hours on old bluegrass and blues songs, traditiona­l fiddle tunes, and eventually their own original music. Busking, a continuous test of one’s ability to command an audience’s attention, cemented their closeness and fostered their infectious performanc­e style. Since then, Damn Tall Buildings have recorded four albums, toured widely, and appeared at top roots festivals like Freshgrass, Walnut Valley Festival and Merlefest. And now their first-ever New Mexico show happens in Santa Fe.
