Spotlight on Breaking Grass

Image634775258475451640Out of the state of Mississippi comes another musical phenomenon known as Breaking Grass.  

This group of five guys are just about to release their second CD (Running With The Moon) after being well received on their self-titled debut project and the single from that album, “April Rain.” 

The group treats listeners to a fresh sound stemming mostly from original material, strong vocals and innovative musicianship.    Although not quite traditional, Breaking Grass is doing exactly what their name implies. The music they present is without a doubt steeped in the timeless traditions they grew up listening to.

This relatively new band formed with one goal in mind - to make music that all ages could enjoy. They are well on their way to becoming a household name, proving it by recently winning the B.O.R.N. (Band On The Rise Nationally) award in June 2012.

“Running With The Moon” has already produced a single by the same name which was released last week.  The full CD will be available to the public on July 31st.  Prescription Bluegrass thought we’d like to know more about Breaking Grass and you might too so we asked the group’s front man and primary songwriter, Cody Farrar a few questions.
