Mo-Grass

Motown Soul with a Bluegrass Heart

What happens when Motown soul meets a banjo?

Born in the foothills of North Carolina, Mo-Grass brings together musicians from Big Daddy Love, The Deluge, and some of North Carolina’s finest soul players for a high-energy reimagining of the classic Motown and Stax songbooks.

Think Stevie Wonder, The Temptations, Otis Redding, Sam Cooke, Marvin Gaye, Bill Withers, The Isley Brothers, Jackie Wilson and more—transformed with driving banjo, soulful vocals, tight harmonies, electric guitar and funky, danceable grooves.

It’s Motown with a twang, bluegrass with a deep soul heartbeat, and familiar songs turned into something completely new.

Mo-Grass has already taken its one-of-a-kind sound to major festivals including MerleFest, Bristol Rhythm & Roots Reunion, and FloydFest, building a show that bridges generations and musical traditions.

If you love classic soul, bluegrass, Americana—or simply a great live band that makes it hard to stay in your seat—Mo-Grass is a show you don’t want to miss.
