The Fauxgrass approach to music, original and traditional, has quickly landed them a place in the progressive bluegrass community since their 2011 inception. With a fresh, playful, and heart-felt, approach to structure Fauxgrass performances seem to freely flow between genres with truly enjoyable instrumental communication. The current members consist of Adam Balcer (guitar, vocals), Tim McKay (bass, vocals), Joey Schultz (banjo, vocals) and Jason Wheeler (mandolin, vocals). They have toured extensively through the mid-west, Colorado, and northeast coast, as well as establishing themselves as a regular presence in the Michigan music scene. They are continuing to build momentum as their unique songwriting and fun performances find enthusiastic reception around the region. Their creative approach to a familiar musical style is a breath of fresh air, and something worth experiencing for the acoustic music lover.

Band members have, and continue to study with the likes of Don Steirnberg (jazz/swing mandolinist), Bill Keith (creator of "keith-banjo style" and Don Julin (composer/mandolinist) , teach music lessons, perform with several other arrangements, including Glean Infusion (www.facebook.com/gleaninfusion) and Karisa Wilson (www.karisawilson.com) and are actively involved in the Michigan musical community.
