Pioneer Mother

A quirky combination of western outlaw and psychedelic astronaut, Pioneer Mother will get you in the mood - for the musical vegan burger with bacon. Mixing wit, modern wisdom and classic bluegrass instrumentation yields a captivating live performance, more outlaw country than bluegrass. Featuring poignant songwriting inspired by nomadic living and fueled by three-part harmonies, Pioneer Mother is bringing back the magic of heartfelt and soulful living.

Pioneer Mother is a four-piece string band hailing from the musical incubator of Nederland, Colorado. Crowds across the Western U.S. have enjoyed the vocal-forward American storytelling and slick picking of the authentic "hippiegrass" of Pioneer Mother. 

Only two years old, Pioneer Mother has made appearances on both the 2019 ARISE Festival and Northwest String Summit lineups, alongside artists such as Railroad Earth, Yonder Mountain String Band, The Infamous Stringdusters, Leftover Salmon, Trampled by Turtles, Rising Appalachia, The ‘Lil Smokies, Fruition, The Kitchen Dwellers, and The Dead South.

Pioneer Mother’s first full-length studio album is set to release in the Summer of 2020 and will be available on all major streaming platforms.
