Texas String Assembly is known for their “mostly acoustic” Americana sound that blends bluegrass, funk, jazz, folk-country, and hippie jugband. Too grassy for honky tonks and too amplified for traditional stages, the group discovered their own niche in Austin’s favorite rock n’ roll clubs. Since their first debut, the band’s popularity continues to grow with tours across the country and abroad.
