Bluegrass & swing quartet "Too Blue" hails from NY & CT, featuring Joan Harrison (banjo, vocal), Betsy Rome (guitar, vocal), Michael Sassano (mandolin), and Jamie Doris (bass), with guest, Kalia Yeagle (fiddle). This dynamic acoustic ensemble delivers sizzling instrumentals, tight vocal harmonies and original songs. Harrison’s melodic banjo interplays with Sassano's lively mandolin, Rome's driving flatpicking guitar and Doris's inventive bass to create exciting music that's great for listening or tapping your dancing shoes. 

 

The new Too Blue CD, "Trouble With the Grey" is receiving rave reviews: 

“Smooth harmonies, adventurous musicianship, and eclectic material...Ah, music for grown-ups.” - Eric Gibson, The Gibson Brothers (IBMA 2011 award winners)

 

“To quote Bill Monroe, “This is powerful music!” With Too Blue, the total is much more than the sum of the parts, and the parts are mighty fine: swing-grass, 12 tracks with 9 original tunes, hot pickin’ & sweet singin’ ” - Barry Mitterhoff, Mandolinist, Jorma Kaukonen

 

Too Blue's members have won band contests and instrumental awards, received songwriting honors, opened concerts for national artists and entertained at major bluegrass festivals including the Joe Val Bluegrass Festival, CT Folk Festival, Podunk, Wind Gap & Long Island Bluegrass Festivalss.
