Acoustic Syndicate - "Bertha" by Syntax Creative published on 2021-04-20T15:54:17Z Acoustic Syndicate is a trail-blazing, seminal group that helped create and shape the genre of Jam Grass. In the group’s 25 years, they’ve headlined festivals throughout the Southeast, performed at Bonnaroo and Farm Aid, and influenced several of today’s most popular roots acts like Greensky Bluegrass, The Steep Canyon Rangers, Larry Keel, Yonder Mountain String Band, Leftover Salmon and more. Now, Acoustic Syndicate has returned to the studio 7 years after their last release and is set to share highly-anticipated and long-awaited new music. ABOUT: With “Bertha,” Acoustic Syndicate delivers a down-home rendering of a Grateful Dead classic tying together yesterday and today in a modest yet self-assured way, all paying homage to the original. Banjoist Byron McMurray says, “The song still can bring a tear to my eye. I saw my first Dead show in '83 and still feel the same emotion whether hearing them perform 'Bertha' or us. It’s a joy to play.” Genre Folk & Singer-Songwriter
