Colebrook Road
Keeping a band together and continuing to grow is a difficult task, but Colebrook Road has done just that—staying true to their bluegrass vision for a decade and a half.
After creating four studio albums, touring coast to coast, and surviving the crushing blow of the pandemic, the band seeks to find new audiences and make new music all the while remembering where they came from. Notable performances within their tour travels include: Podunk Bluegrass Festival (CT) 2022; Grey Fox (NY) main stage 2018 and dance tent with Billy Strings in 2019; Gettysburg Bluegrass Festival (PA) 2018-2023; North Cascades Bluegrass Festival (WA) 2019; Pickin' On The Plains (KS) 2019; Charm City Bluegrass Festival (MD) 2016, 2018 and 2021; Strawberry Park Bluegrass Festival (CT) 2019, The Kennedy Center for Performing Arts (Washington DC) 2016
With two albums in the top ten on the Billboard Music Chart in 2019 and 2021, a nomination for the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum Band Award in 2020, and a chart-topping single in 2019, the band has worked hard to gain national notoriety.
“While emphasizing their instrumental and vocal versatility, Colebrook Road insists on staying true to the spirit and sound of a bluegrass band.”
—TED LEHMANN, NO Depression
