Green Rock River Band

The Green Rock River Band are based in London. Upbeat, doom inspired fire and brimstone folk, bluegrass, gospel, and dirty blues all captured in an entertaining and explosive acoustic set. With melancholic ballads, tales of the strange and roaring anthems, this is a band to experience live.

Americana UK "Good Times EP review" - "Doom folk's not doomed when the results are this good, Jeremy Sachs' voice sounds like he needs to evacuate phlegm at the end of every phrase. I picture him as a crazed marionette electrified with fire and brimstone, underscored with some gymnastic Bluegrass.......When they produce a song that starts to tickle the hairs on the back of my neck I know they're onto something good; 'Sleep' with its crocheting together of banjo, guitar and resonator guitar with male/female vocals takes their promise to a whole new level. The fiddle adds some conciliatory phases and the whole thing is lovely piece of melancholy. This is the London band's second EP and already they sound like they are going to be essential."

HolsterMedia.com - "This band is a powder keg of bluegrass, country, old-time music, brought right up to date and very "now". You don't need to be a fan of any of those genres because this is simply impossible-to-resist infectious riotous fun all the way.... When they hit the stage it's kind of like being attacked by a over-friendly rabid dog."

Megan Lynch, 6 time USA Bluegrass Fiddle Champion - "Bizarre, but if they were a three legged homeless dog , I'd still take them home"

Bob Cheevers Grammy and Emmy Award Winner - "The band has a very old fashioned feeling that really catches the senses"

A & R Music Publishers, California - "I love the timber story-telling nature of the vocals, I love the material. I listen to music constantly and for this to stand out for me is wonderful"
