New EP from Mountain Faith

New from Mountain Faith

Pop Series - EP

 

     Mountain Faith has released a new EP, Mountain Faith Pop Series (Mountain Fever Records, August 21st, 2015), which features five covered pop songs.  There's a mix from 80's songs to modern day music.  Now, covering pop songs to a bluegrass genre is no easy task, especially if you want it done right.  You can't just take it, play it, and put your own twist on it like you can covering bluegrass or country songs.  YouTube has many pop songs covered in the "bluegrass" genre, but not many done well.  But Mountain Faith has done no small feat with this, as seen on their debut and take off on the show America's Got Talent.  They have taken bluegrass instruments, pop lyrics, a modern bluegrass rhythm, spun their own twist on it, and accomplished something that not many can.  So, even if you're not a fan of pop music, you might want to check this newest EP out.  And don't forget to catch Mountain Faith as they move on to the semi-finals of America's Got TalentMountain Faith is moving forward very quickly (They have been nominated for the IBMA award Emerging Artist of The Year), and doing an excellent job representing bluegrass music on the national stage.
