Colebrook Road
Keeping a band together and continuing to grow is a difficult task, but Colebrook Road has done just that, staying true to their bluegrass vision for a decade and a half. After creating four studio albums, touring coast to coast, and surviving the crushing blow of the pandemic, the band seeks to find new audiences and make new music all the while remembering where they came from.
With two albums in the top ten on the Billboard Music Chart in 2019 and 2021, a nomination for the International Bluegrass Music Association’s Momentum Band Award in 2020, and a radio chart topping single in 2019, the band has worked hard to gain national notoriety.
Based out of Harrisburg, Pennsylvania and comprised of lead singer, guitar picker and songwriter Jesse Eisenbise, upright bassist and tenor vocalist Jeff Campbell, mandolin player Wade Yankey, fiddle player, songwriter and baritone vocalist Joe McAnulty, and banjoist and bass vocalist Mark Rast, they continue to hone their skills through a strong connection of friendship and a love of all things music.
Colebrook Road has developed a sound of their own centered in original songwriting, new interpretations, intricate arrangement, and unbridled improvisation, with a nod to the innovators who came before. It is obvious to any audience that the band shares a joy in making music together, and has worked hard on improving over time
“While emphasizing their instrumental and vocal versatility, Colebrook Road insists on staying true to the spirit and sound of a bluegrass band.”
— TED LEHMANN, IBMA NOMINATED BLUEGRASS PRINT/MEDIA PERSON OF THE YEAR, IN “NO DEPRESSION”
“Lyrically and musically well constructed, with haunting harmonies and great instrumental breaks by all members…Multiple band and solo bluegrass contest award winners…[they] are definitely a group to check out.”
