PRESS RELEASE

The Grascals release ‘Callin’ Your Name’ video

October 18, 2019

Arden, North Carolina (Oct. 18, 2019—Mountain Home Music Company) | Veteran bluegrass ensemble The Grascals have released a video for their latest single, “Callin’ Your Name,” after a premiere by The Boot.

“Callin’ Your Name,” featured on The Grascals’ latest album Straighten The Curves (STREAM/BUY), was written by Larry Cordle and Chris Austin. Featuring guitarist Chris Davis on lead vocals, the song is a grassy, lovelorn lament.

“Before we came to the studio, Larry told me this would be a great song for me to sing,” says Davis. “We ended up recording it — and it was indeed a great song that came out really well.”

Filmed by Mountainwater Films and produced by the team at Mountain Home Music Company in Asheville, North Carolina, the video captures the desperation one feels when his loved one could be moving on.

About The Grascals | Great musicians will always find a way to make good music, but for great musicians to make great music, they must form a bond – one that, more often than not, goes beyond the purely musical to the personal. For The Grascals, that bond has been forged at the intersection of personal friendships, shared professional resumes and an appreciation for the innovative mingling of bluegrass and country music that has been a hallmark of the Nashville scene for more than forty years.

Their cutting-edge modern bluegrass is delivered with a deep knowledge of, and admiration for, the work of the music’s founding fathers. Timely yet timeless, The Grascals make music that is entirely relevant to the here and now, yet immersed in traditional values of soul and musicianship. It’s a unique sound that has earned three Grammy® nominations and two Entertainer of the Year awards from the International Bluegrass Music Association, as well as national media attention that seems to perpetually elude acts entrenched in niche genres. Such appearances include The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, Fox & Friends, The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson, and CBS’ The Talk. All the while, stages that represent the strongest bastions of tradition continually welcome them, as evidenced by the over 150 performances on the Grand Ole Opry. Honors also include performing twice for President George W. Bush and at President Barack Obama’s inaugural ball at the Smithsonian.

As their records prove, The Grascals’ rare musical empathy gives them an unerring ear for just the right touch to illuminate each offering’s deepest spirit – whether they’re digging into one of their original songs or reworking a bluegrass classic or a pop standard. Take for instance, fan favorite, “Last Train to Clarksville.” Non-bluegrass listeners enjoy a new take on a familiar song, while diehard bluegrass audiences who may have never heard the Monkees classic, respond in-kind, not even realizing that the song has been Grascalized.
