Greenwood Rye is a modern jam-grass band, formed in Nashville during pandemic-times as the house band for the award-winning bluegrass supper club, Jane's Hideaway. The band is led by Shawn Spencer on Guitar and Vocals, and a main cast of David Freeman (Mandolin, Vox), Taylor Shuck (Banjo), Ruth Shumway (Fiddle, Vox), & Andy Brown(Upright Bass).
The group writes fun, modern songs that are rooted in bluegrass, throwing in some jam-band tendencies, and an occasional kick-drum or delay pedal. And they love performing fresh renditions of eclectic covers of all genres done with the beautiful sounds of acoustic bluegrass instruments.
