Keeping it old-school.
Colorado Springs bluegrass supergroup Red Mountain Boys honor the genre's roots, while putting their own spin on it.are prolific, to say the least. The Colorado Springs-based bluegrass supergroup has only been together since 2019 but has produced more than 100 original songs to date. Even during the pandemic, when the band couldn’t play live, the four members turned to writing, recording and releasing new music each month for what's became known as “Red Mountain Mondays.
With such an injection of new material, the Red Mountain Boys quickly dropped any covers on their set list as well. “It worked out, man. Before the pandemic, we were playing all the time. Instead of just sitting around, we just wrote songs. We went from playing, like, 50 percent covers to [not covering] anything now — it’s all original music. It was kind of a blessing, in that sense, to just be forced to take time,” Daugherty says.
Rooted in the genre’s traditional standards, Daugherty, Begley, banjoist/Kansas Music Hall of Famer Lewis Mock and bassist Jon Murphy look like they were born to play bluegrass, all huddled and crooning around one mic, dressed in their pearl-snap shirts and cowboy hats.
