Bio
Take a string band and swap out the banjo player for a groovy drummer and you’re well on your way to understanding the sound of Oakhurst. The band spikes traditional bluegrass with rock & roll and a kamikaze rhythmic sensibility. That danceable concoction along with three part harmonies, and citybilly swagger keeps the band in high demand. Oakhurst’s unpretentious, go-for-it interpretation of a genre that’s often handled too reverently, sparks interest in bluegrass by folks who don’t know Doc...

Oakhurst Trifflin' Times - New Album "Barrel" http://www.reverbnation.com/c/fr5/artist_193104?eid=A193104_11194746_

“Qualley is eager to see how the new album turns out. For the first time, the band is working with a notable producer — Joe Pisapia, a member of the rock band Guster, and currently part of k.d. lang’s new Siss Boom Bang band. “He’ll be making the thing sparkle, without being totally, 100 percent Nashville,” Qualley said.
But Qualley isn’t just anticipating how good the new album will be; he can’t wait to see just what Oakhurst sounds like in its latest form. Substituting slide guitar for banjo — “the slidey sound instead of the rolling sound,” Qualley said — is a big shift. And Hill, the primary songwriter, moves constantly through influences, from folk to Phish, Jack White to Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy.
“Now it’s much more roots-rock Americana,” Qualley said. “There’s not much bluegrass about us if you don’t have the banjo going. The stuff we’re doing now is the most important thing. And it’s all kind of new right now.””
