Clay Street Unit with High Country Hustle

Description

Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Clay Street Unit mixes the acoustic instrumentation of bluegrass and folk with the amplified energy of Americana and country.

Driven forward by drums, sharp songwriting, and the chemistry of good friends and musical brothers who've shared countless hours on stage, Clay Street Unit's music doesn't just nod to the band's influences; it reshapes them into something new. With their debut album on the horizon, Clay Street Unit are staking their claim as torchbearers of something both fresh and familiar, nodding to the foundations of American music while sharpening their own progressive edge. \-- High Country Hustle is a bluegrass band from Durango, Colorado, formed in 2017 and known for their high-energy performances and steady rise through the Colorado festival circuit.
