Thursday Live!

On April 6^th the Davis Odd Fellows Thursday Live! concert series present the Grateful Bluegrass Boys.

Grateful Bluegrass Boys are an acoustic string band from the Santa Cruz/SF Bay Area.

Their primary mission is to get the audience to sing and dance along to beloved songs one might…or might not expect from a string band. Their first CD includes songs by Paul Simon, Willie Nelson, Led Zeppelin, Johnny Nash, The Eagles, and the Grateful Dead.

While the name of the band references the Grateful Dead, gratitude is at the core of the band. They feel incredibly fortunate to play music for people all over the country and keep their set lists fresh and diverse.

The band also has a healthy respect for traditional Bluegrass and one can expect fiddle tunes and raucous Bluegrass songs.

The band has shared the stage with Bob Weir, Phil Lesh, Lukas Nelson, Bill Nershi, and many more incredible musicians.

Aaron Rednor picked up the violin when he was 10 years old and earned a Master’s degree in classical violin and performance from the New England Conservatory of Music. He got hooked on Bluegrass music after going to festivals. After returning to California, he joined the band Hot Buttered Rum which became the focal point of Aaron’s life for the next 13 years. He played violin, mandolin, and became one of the songwriters of the band. 

Sean Lehe is a Northern California based guitarist. Over the past two decades he has played lead guitar for bands such as Izabella, Poor Man’s Whiskey and Jelly Bread. More recently he can be seen performing with his electric 5-piece rock band Birds Of Fortune, as well as The Grateful Bluegrass Boys

Scotty Brown is an electric and upright bass player. Growing up with an eclectic taste in music, he started playing bass at age 17 inspired by influential icons such as: Phil Lesh, Barry Oakley, Paul McCartney, and Jack Bruce. Through years Scotty began to develop a deep love and appreciation for bluegrass music. He currently plays in the Dusty Green Bones Band.

Isaac Cantor has dedicated himself to mastery of the 5-string banjo.  After picking up the instrument 16 years ago there was no looking back. After being offered his first gig in California 10 years ago, Isaac decided to stay.  Since then, he has been a fixture in the Northern California bluegrass/Jam scene, helping to start several bands and contributing his banjo playing to studio recordings and other projects along the west coast.
