DESCRIPTION:Prepare for a foot-stomping night as San Francisco’s own The Good Bad brings their explosive brand of bluegrass to Tupelo. A staple of the West Coast “Newgrass” scene since 2010\, this five-piece ensemble delivers a high-velocity take on traditional string music. Known for their tight vocal harmonies and rowdy stage presence\, they turn the standard bluegrass session into a full-blown North Beach party. \n\n\nThe Sound: The Good Bad specializes in Progressive Bluegrass (Newgrass). While they use traditional instruments—mandolin\, banjo\, fiddle\, and dobro—their approach is pure rock-and-roll energy. Expect lightning-fast picking\, “raucous” vocal arrangements\, and a “good time” sound designed to be paired with a dash of whiskey. \n\n\nThe Lineup: The band features a versatile group of local pickers: \n\n\nAaron Lanes: Mandolin & Guitar \nThomas Beneduci: Guitar & Dobro \nPeter Dominici: Banjo \nDave Pascoe: Fiddle \nPaul Geoghan: Bass \n\n\nBluegrass in the Beach: Tupelo’s intimate\, red-lit stage is the perfect venue for the band’s acoustic power. Without the barriers of a large festival stage\, you can catch the “unique character blend” and technical mastery of the group up close. \n\n\nNo Cover Hoedown: In a neighborhood known for high-priced entertainment\, this “Good Ol’ Fashioned Ho-Down” remains No Cover. It’s a rare chance to see a band that has shared stages with scene favorites like The Brothers Comatose and The Lil’ Smokies for free. \n\n\n\nAbout The Good Bad\nHailing from the foggy hills of San Francisco\, The Good Bad has spent over a decade honing a sound that pushes the boundaries of traditional bluegrass while staying rooted in its acoustic soul. They are veterans of the California festival circuit\, known for their ability to captivate audiences of all ages with their “uniquely rustic tones” and high-energy performance style. Whether they are playing a local tavern or a massive stage like Hardly Strictly Bluegrass\, their mission is always the same: to move the audience and keep the spirit of the string band alive in the modern era.
