About Mighty Poplar:

At its heart, bluegrass music is about what happens when you commit to the moment. The joy of improvisation keeps the music fresh, and the fun of crafting ideas on the fly keeps the musicians on their toes. This true spirit of bluegrass infuses the self-titled record from Mighty Poplar, a new all-star roots project featuring Andrew Marlin (Watchhouse), Noam Pikelny and Chris Eldridge (Punch Brothers), bassist Greg Garrison (Leftover Salmon) and fiddler Alex Hargreaves (Billy Strings) that debuted last month on Free Dirt Records.

Regarded as some of the finest players of their generation, the playing is never showy and always in service of the song. Though Pikelny, Eldridge, Garrison all knew each other from their early work with Punch Brothers, impromptu backstage jams with Marlin at nationwide festivals were the key that unlocked the project.

A lifelong song collector, Marlin selected and sang lead on most of the songs, melding classics as well as deep cuts from greats like Hazel Dickens & Alice Gerrard, John Hartford, Bob Dylan, Leonard Cohen and Norman Blake. Throughout, the songs and tunes are as immediate and emotionally impactful as the playing is tasteful. With their debut album, Mighty Poplar has captured the fierce and playful energy of an all-night jam between old friends who just happen to be grandmasters of the music.
