Bluegrass is but one of several ingredients to be found in the music of Austin’s Green Mountain Grass. Gypsy swing, folk, reggae, funk and jazz blend together in a melodic style that fans have dubbed as "gonzograss," a mastery of traditional music forms that also leaves plenty of room for improvisation. You can see Green Mountain Grass perform tonight at The Saxon Pub on South Lamar.
