GANGSTAGRASS

Season 1 Episode 8 | 24m 41s

Led by “Rappalachian” mastermind Rench, the group’s “Long Hard Times to Come” won an instant national audience as the theme for Elmore Leonard’s classic TV EMMY-nominated series Justified. Gangstagrass has continued successfully mining that unlikely mashup, finding common ground on the dance floors of both rural and urban America. Old school hip-hop meets that high-lonesome sound in Gangstagrass.

Aired: 10/28/22 | Expires: 11/26/22
