Oakhurst joins the Crescendo roster

Oakhurst has had a reputation for torching bar and theater stages throughout the US with its unique sound and unbridled stage energy for years. But lately, the band has also created a stir on major festival stages, cruise ships and European tours. The band’s adept picking, sweet harmonies, and citybilly swagger have clearly come from playing 200+ shows a year in such varied environments. Oakhurst’s unpretentious, go-for-it interpretation of a genre that’s often handled too reverently sparks interest in bluegrass by folks who don’t know Doc Watson from Doc Holliday. Along the way Oakhurst has shared stages with very diverse national talent such as John Hiatt, Nickel Creek, The Flaming Lips, Emmylou Harris, Barenaked Ladies, Yard Dogs Roadshow, Bela Fleck, The Ditty Bops, The Radiators, Junior Brown, Lyle Lovett, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Johnny Lang, Guster, Yonder Mountain String Band, Devotchka, Rose Hill Drive, Drew Emmit, Billy Nershi and Vince Herman. http://www.myspace.com/oakhurst
