New York based progressive Americana group Nefesh Mountain Band has been hailed as one of the formative boundary-pushing ensembles in roots music today. For over a decade, they’ve carved out a sound all their own; blurring the lines between Americana, bluegrass, psych-folk, Jazz, blues, and jam. Their critically acclaimed latest release and double album Beacons marks a new touchstone for them, bringing together hard driving acoustic bluegrass with searing electric Americana, country and blues. The powerhouse band has been rapidly growing a devoted following with their unique and transformative live shows that embody their own wild nature and unbridled free spirits with compositional prowess and prolific songwriting with deft instrumentals and colossal jams.
The Nefesh Mountain Band has been featured on NPR, Billboard, Rolling Stone, American Songwriter, The Bluegrass Situation, No Depression, Bluegrass Unlimited, Bluegrass Today and more. They have recorded and shared the stage with Sam Bush, Jerry Douglas, Bryan Sutton, Stuart Duncan, Noam Pikelny (Punch Brothers), Mark Schatz (Bèla Fleck, Nickel Creek), Greg Liesz, Mike Gordon (Phish) and Tony Trischka among many others.
In 2021 they made their debut at The Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN and in recent years have performed various Festivals, PACs, and countless venues including Mountain Stage, Merlefest, Wintergrass, Ossipee Valley, Kaw River Roots, Thomas Point Bluegrass and more. Through the years Nefesh Mountain has officially showcased and been a proud member of AmericanaFest, Folk Alliance, and the IBMA.
