Grandaddy is back with a fresh album titled “Blu Wav”. This musical offering, set to release on February 16, 2024, via Dangerbird Records, explores an intriguing blend of bluegrass and new wave genres. The album’s title itself is a literal fusion of these two distinct styles.

Number of Tracks: 13 songs.
Musical Exploration: Grandaddy combines the twang of bluegrass with the electronic vibes of new wave.
Pedal Steel: Seven of the album’s tracks are waltzes, featuring an “inordinate amount of pedal steel” according to frontman Jason Lytle.
