Arkansauce calls forth melodies of the Ozark Mountains' rolling hills and raging rivers with their distinct blend of newgrass. This progressive string quartet features Tom Andersen on bass, guitarist Zac Archuleta, Ethan Bush on mandolin, and Adams Collins on banjo. Their music features improvisational string leads matched with complex melodies, intriguing rhythms, and deep thumping bass grooves. Each member sings lead and harmony parts as well as contributes to the lyrics, which offer authentic, intelligent songwriting with hard-hitting hooks. Texas String Assembly is a band based in Austin, TX, playing high-energy americana-bluegrass roots-rock music. Since the release of Doggabone in 2022– a “raucous, jamming debut” (Austin Chronicle), Texas String Assembly has become a fixture of the local live music scene while expanding their reach by touring through clubs and festivals across Texas, the southeastern USA, New York City, Mexico, Europe, and beyond. With over 200 shows played, Texas String Assembly is a well-oiled machine ready to make a big splash with the release of their second full-length album.
