From the jump, dadweed have been eager to start something new within the bluegrass genre, taking a non-traditional approach, but always finding ways to pay homage to the roots of the genre. Making their live performances fun and engaging for both lovers of bluegrass, and for those not so interested or familiar with the genre.
Influenced by different generations of bluegrass, from Tony Rice to Billy Strings, all 3 members are songwriters and have a great ear for serving songs, while also leaning into experimentation and the freewheeling exploration of finding new moments not only in their original music, but also for their arrangements of covers as well.
Dadweed showcases two guitars and bass, which allows a lot of room for interplay and improvisation. Having less moving parts at any given moment than other bluegrass lineups. All of the members being multi-instrumentalists also allows them to swap out a guitar for a dobro, pedal steel, mandolin, or banjo from time to time.
