10 Years and a Cloud of Dust
Based in Columbus, Ohio, Grasshopper Pie has been playing its own brand of rock n’ roots music throughout Ohio and the surrounding region for the past decade.
The band’s music revolves around tightly arranged, well-written songs, with room for live improvisation. Grasshopper Pie draws inspiration from classic rock and American roots music including blues, bluegrass, country and funk. The band’s sound is its own.
Grasshopper Pie’s on-stage tightness has been hammered out through ten years of blood, sweat and tears on the regional rock club and music festival circuit. During this time, Grasshopper Pie has developed a loyal following and become a regular at some of the biggest music festivals and venues in the region.
Grasshopper Pie has shared the stage with Derek Trucks Band, Keller Williams, Ekoostik Hookah, Umphrey's McGee, Dickey Betts, Dark Star Orchestra, Karl Denson's Tiny Universe, Jazz Mandolin Project, Cyro Baptista, Charlie Hunter, David Nelson Band, Merle Saunders, Melvin Seals and the Jerry Garcia Band, The Big Wu, The Codetalkers with Colonel Bruce Hampton and more.
Grasshopper Pie has released two studio albums, Gypsy Sky in 2000 and Horizons in 2002. Plans for a third album are underway.
Each year, Grasshopper Pie co-hosts Tabfest, one of the fastest growing music festivals in the Midwest. The event features national, regional and local artists with proceeds donated Ronald McDonald House Charities. Visit www.tabfest.com for more information.

BIOGRAPHY/JAMBASE
What started as a basement jam session in 1995 has evolved into one of the tightest, most well-known bands in Ohio. Formed on the campus of Bowling Green State University in Northwest Ohio, Grasshopper Pie frequents venues and festivals throughout the Midwest. The band's sound incorporates many styles that appeal to fans of all kinds of music. Their great original songs provide a framework for improvisational onstage jamming. Since 1995 Grasshopper Pie has played hundreds of gigs, building loyal followings in places like Cleveland, Columbus, Cincinnati and other cities throughout Ohio and the surrounding states. This road-tested quartet has honed a sound all its own, and shared stages along the way with the likes of Merl Saunders, ekoostik hookah, Derek Trucks Band, The Recipe, Melvin Seals, Jazz Mandolin Project, Keller Williams, Lake Trout, The Big Wu, Dark Star Orchestra and Ray's Music Exchange, among others. A melding of classic rock, blues, jazz, bluegrass, country and other American roots music forms Grasshopper Pie's unique sound, and has led to the band's success in consistently filling clubs throughout the region. Melodic tunes are contrasted with spontaneous toe-tapping boogie jams to make Grasshopper Pie's live shows engaging and enjoyable.
