Country Fried Grass began in Sept. 2006. John Simmons, Steve Robbins, & P.J. McCrowell were to showcase at the Virginia Folk Music Association festival. Chris Hart was asked to join them for the show & the band was born. Right from the start there was a high level of energy on the stage. The band plays with a real raw emotion that strikes the audience. Within a year the band was playing festivals, clubs, & recorded a cd "It Must Be Sunday Morning". The title track along with other orginal material like "I Took The Blame" have become popular songs where the band plays. As the band was starting to roll along, P.J. McCrowell disappeared. He left band practice on July 14th 2007 & hasn't been heard from since. The band was able to perform their dates with the help of friends who filled in. In Oct. of '07 the band found thier banjo player - Everett Owen. With the addition of Everett, the band's music went to a new level.
The band is located in Lynchburg,Va. The band believes music should be fun for the audience as well as the band. The band works hard to give the audience the show they deserve by bringing as much excitment to the stage as they can . The band has its own sound that includes many original songs. Each member has a soulful style of playing & a love for playing music.
