Oly Mountain Boys

We think so, don't you?

The Oly Mountain Boys have a new merch item that we're happy to say is available at our shows, on Etsy, and at our website (now aka bluegrassissexy.com)! 

The Oly Mountain Boys dreamed up this parody of the iconic "Reading is Sexy" sticker by Olympia-area artist Sarah Utter. With her blessing, bassist Phil Post created this alluring banjo-picking gal. Now you can spread the word that bluegrass is sexy too via a 6" by 2.25" vinyl sticker.

Come out and see us at the Spar this month, at the Pig Bar during Artswalk, or as we kick off the summer festival season!

We had some great shows to start the new year, including some for great causes. Check out some great photos on Facebook from Joel Kluger and Eric Frommer taken at the Olympia Community Bluegrass Music Show!

We also had the distinct pleasure of appearing on  a new Youtube broadcast called Olympic Peninsula Spotlight. It's produced by Circle of Sound Studios, where we recorded Through the Sky. We hope you'll give this a listen (lots of great bluegrass info in there, folks) and follow the broadcast as they highlight local music!

UPCOMING EVENTS:

Matthew Warnick and Rick Nichols of Circle of Sound studios (where we recorded our most recent album, Through the Sky) have created a broadcast to place a "spotlight" on independent artists of the Pacific Northwest. They were kind enough to feature us on a recent episode - check it out!

We were really thrilled to close down 2012 with an awesome party at the Olympia Ballroom with Hillstomp, and a rousing sold-out show at the Nectar Lounge in Seattle with Pickled Okra, Jack Dwyer, and Brandi Carlile! Now it's time to ring in your new year with a little bluegrass... check us out this month!

Our fall schedule is starting to take shape... come out and see us!

"Through The Sky," the Oly Mountain Boys' second studio album, is nearly here! Based on songs developed over the previous two years of live performance, it contains 10 original compositions and two Bill Monroe classics.  We think it ups the ante in every way from our first album - it's some brand new bluegrass!

Just got our hands on this real nice video of Derek tearing it up on Bill Monroe's "Dusty Miller"...

Good news!  "Live at High & Dry" is now available for online order through CDBaby!  You can also order our first album - check out our artist page at CDBaby using the "Store" link above!

We just got the new live CD in.  We're pretty excited about it, especially about the great album art that our good friend Edwin Landis provided.  Come on out to Buzz's on Saturday, February 18th!

It won't be long now... the Oly Mountain Boys are putting together a live album from our performance in summer 2011 at the High and Dry Bluegrass Festival!  We'll be at Buzz's Tavern on February 18th for a CD release party!

Oly Mountain Boys, this Friday, at the Eastside Club (as Phil says, the center of the known beer universe.)

Jimbo Jitsu, Jabi Shriki and Burdman have been kind enough to feature us on their New Music Monday show! This is video from our Bill Monroe Tribute back in September, as well as some from our McMenamin's Spar show. Check it out!
