Damn Tall Buildings: From Busking Streets to Bluegrass Stardom

Описание: On this edition of Road Gang Radio, hosts Jimmy Mac and Lindsay Lawler welcome Avery Ballotta, vocalist and fiddler for the celebrated Brooklyn-based folk-bluegrass trio Damn Tall Buildings. Known for their soulful melodies, tight harmonies, and dynamic live shows, the band has captured hearts across the country — from street corners to national stages.

Avery talks with Jimmy and Lindsay about the band’s journey that began more than a decade ago with busking and blossomed into a full-fledged musical career that’s earned attention from The Boston Globe, No Depression, and more. The conversation dives into the trio’s unique chemistry, the roots of their sound that blends folk, bluegrass, old-time, and jazz, and how members Max Capistran and Sasha Dubyk met at Berklee, got married, and went on to create a community-focused music school in Brooklyn.

Listeners get an inside look at the stories behind the songs, the passion that drives Damn Tall Buildings’ music, and how their creative process stays grounded in authenticity, friendship, and fun. The episode also explores Avery’s role as a fiddler and vocalist, the band’s songwriting evolution, and the energy they bring to every performance — both on stage and in the studio.
