The group known as Gangstagrass brought their unique flavor of hip-hop and bluegrass to the KSUT Eddie Box Jr. Media Center performance studio, Friday, April 1. Gangstagrass combines the improvisational virtues of both hip-hop and bluegrass into energetic, genre-busting performances. “There are a lot more people out there with Jay-Z and Johnny Cash on their playlists than you think,” says Gangstagrass Mastermind Rench.

KSUT Executive Director Tami Graham interviewed Gangstagrass during their live in-studio performance, which was simulcast across both KSUT signals, KSUT Public Radio and KSUT Tribal Radio. Gangstagrass performed later that evening at the Animas Theater in Durango, Colo.
