Robert Weingartz, Executive Director – Collective Evolution, Chief Strategist – Bluegrass Today further explains, “I am honored to have been charged with the responsibility of nurturing and growing the Bluegrass Today brand. Starting with our first introduction to the brand extension for Bluegrass Today is the formal announcement of their new ‘Grassicana Chart’! This chart is unique and supports radio programmers, artists and labels alike; globally. The creation of this chart has come at ‘their request’, and by the very nature of the art and business they create together.” |
What is Grassicana? It is music that lies between the progressive sounds of bluegrass and the vast genre of Americana. While possessing a connection with bluegrass, it is defined as the “branches”, as opposed to the “roots” of bluegrass. Typically played with acoustic instruments traditional to bluegrass, it may also include drums and other instrumentation not always associated with bluegrass. More than instrumentation however, it is the style in which the music is played that ultimately defines the new genre of Grassicana.
