MilkDrive

Conceived as the project of Noah Jeffries, who grew up playing music in his family's bluegrass band, Austin-based MilkDrive is fittingly a bluegrass band, but it incorporates elements of jazz and swing as well, bringing to mind the work of master jazz violinist Stephane Grappelli. With each band member highly renowned (and having the national awards to prove it) for their individual mastery of their instrument, the group's music showcases lightning-fast finger-picking, technical prowess and complete mastery over stringed instruments. MilkDrive performs live throughout the country, but plays the majority of its shows in Austin, where it regularly opens for major bluegrass artists.
