Bushwick Mountain Boys was formed in 2023 to fit a rare niche: traditional Bluegrass in New York City. The band shares decades of professional bluegrass experience, and features four of the northeast’s finest acoustic musicians. Since their formation, they’ve cultivated a project which aims to present more obscure material from the bluegrass canon, as well originals in the same aesthetic vein. Individually, each of the members possess a dynamic sense reminiscent of another era. The band features Shane McGeehan, a bassist and singer from the coal region of Pennsylvania, formerly of the band Serene Green. He teamed up with Ellery Marshall, a well-known banjo player in New York (Andy Statman, Abby Hollander, Brooklyn Bluegrass Collective). They recruited the immensely talented Bronx-native Cesar Moreno to sing and play mandolin, and powerful singer Aidan Kerber to round out the group on guitar and vocals. The group can be seen playing shows throughout the country, as well as in bars and back rooms in and around New York and Pennsylvania.
