Bio
Aimless Pursuit is a Pennsylvanian Bluegrass Band living in the Philadelphia area. We are a 4-piece group that features traditional acoustic bluegrass instrumentation consisting of Upright Bass, Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, and Harmonica, and are influenced by Hot Rize / Red Knuckles and the Trailblazers, Old Crow Medicine Show and Old and in the Way.
We call our music Pennsylvania Bluegrass. This allows Aimless Pursuit to perform a wide ranging style embracing Bluegrass Tradition with our Pennsylvania Roots. Our show is accessible to both novice and experienced listeners of roots style music.
Aimless Pursuit members are experienced and trained musicians. We concentrate on multi-part harmonies, interesting arrangements and a humorous, engaging, and energetic performance.
A Pennsylvania festival organizer and DJ calls us, "ambassadors of bluegrass", as we can bring in novice listeners buy adapting familiar songs to the bluegrass format in a method we call Adaptograss. He also stated that when we take the stage we are, "Hard to ignore, in a good way!". Feedback generally is that people like to watch us as much as listen to our song selection, a combination of the traditions of bluegrass and the adaptation of songs we grew up with in the 60's through the 80's.
We understand that the audience is King and that 3rd generation listeners, those 40-65 in age, often grew up listening to rock and roll and pop music. By adding some emotive stylings and dramatic arrangements to both traditional and contemporary bluegrass forms, Aimless Pursuit works to provide a change of pace from other traditional styled bands.
