The Grass Pack

We’re excited to have the band put together again, and we’re happier than ever with the new Pack. John Higgins joined the band in February on guitar, and Mike Tiefenbrun in April, filling the bass spot. As member of the Flying Mules for ten years, among many other musical projects, and as a top luthier in the midwest, John is like “Guitar Hero” of the bluegrass scene around St. Louis. He brings brilliant sense of rhythm, some lead and harmony vocals, and a keen sense for arranging into the mix. Mike, former member of bands such as One Fell Swoop, can be found playing bass in situations as diverse as jazz, classical, folk, klezmer, and now bluegrass. (We got him hooked!) When John and Mike lock in on a bluegrass groove, it’s a beautiful thing….
