Brooklyn-based “guerrilla roots” band repurposing early-20th-century American music for a modern audience. Appalachian, bluegrass, lighthearted attitude, intelligent songwriting, infectious energy and serious musicianship. With special guest Andrew Pauls.

“If you like your bluegrass served with a little punch, attitude, grit and gravy, with that busking spirit that was so present and palpable in the early incarnations of Old Crow Medicine Show and made your realize that string band music could be so much more than fuddy-duddy reenactments by crusty ol’ relics, then the Damn Tall Buildings will slide in nice as a welcome addition to your listening rotation.” — Saving Country Music

“Even if bluegrass isn’t normally your cup of tea, you can’t help but be amazed by the way this band plays. And who knows? Maybe this could be the bluegrass album to win you over.” — Americana Highways
