"Two performances in two months for the Black Rose Acoustic Society, standing room only. Wow! Featuring at the Open Stage, they had multiple Black Rose Stomps, two encores and a standing ovation. Amazing!"

Moira Theriault - The Black Rose Acoustic Society

Formed in 2005, the power-trio of David Jeffrey (mandolin/guitar/vocal), Shannon Carr (guitar/banjo/vocal) and Jon Bross (upright bass/vocal) have released (2) original full-length CDs and can be heard performing for Fortune 500 companies, luxury resorts and convention centers, mountain towns and festivals, acoustic societies and private events.

A range of influence is evident in their music and performance energy. “We’re playing to have fun and that means a dynamic repertoire for us, we find that engaging our audience at every performance is vital in building the energy we’re after.” stated bass player Jon Bross. Grass It Up performs every Wednesday in Colorado Springs at the Front Range Barbeque, a venue that has grown into a hub for bluegrass music in the city and a showcase for nationally touring bluegrass bands. Their musical adventures certainly don’t stop with an evening booking. “In our three years together, we’ve arranged and hosted a series of mountain music festivals near Divide Colorado as well as two destination music festivals titled Lavapalooza in Arenal, Costa Rica. We find inspiration in our friends and community, and are passionate about culture and travel - these events further unite our music and friends each year”.

Grass It Up has been featured throughout Colorado in the print media, regional radio stations and bluegrass shows. They can be heard each Wednesday as the introduction music for the Steve Harris Bluegrass Show on KRCC-FM in Colorado Springs.

Grass It Up is an active member of the Colorado Springs business community, performing often for chamber members and local businesses while assisting non-profit and benefit organizations such as Care & Share and Junior Achievement of Southern Colorado.
