Gangstagrass Builds Bridges with Beats & Music

On June 28, 2021 Gangstagrass stunned the world when they appeared on America's Got Talent and got unanimous yeses from all of the judges including Simon Cowell. By chance, I saw the group perform in Stevens Point, Wisconsin during the town's Independence Day celebration. I watched and felt a kind of magic unravel as folks as different in appearance as the group themselves got up and danced while taking in songs addressing everything from mass incarceration to struggle to the ongoing quest for freedom to the backdrop of fiddles, beats and rapping. The band spent an hour with me describing their musical journeys and their aspirations for bringing about unity in the country and beyond. Listen and be inspired.
