About Mipso
American music certainly took a turn for the better when Americana made the move from fuzzy AM stations and hazy street corners in small towns to a wider and more diverse audience around the world. Mipso was certainly aware of this development and threw themselves into the movement wholeheartedly while at the same time maintaining a higher awareness of where the genre might be developed. The hardcore revivalists of Mipso are mandolin player Jacob Sharp, guitarist Joseph Terrell, fiddle player Libby Rodenbough, and double bassist Wood Robinson. This genius quartet has taken the signature harmony in three parts and Appalachian sensibilities and has run with them headlong into new and exciting territory. Using Doc Watson and Earl Scruggs as a starting point, the talented song writers have carried the blood-stirring sounds of bluegrass to the road less travelled and have made themselves a musical homestead all their own.
The notion of Mipso would start percolating among the four members during their freshman year at the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. It would take Sharp, Terrell, Rodenbough, and Robinson a little while to get their act together, but when they finally did they would become campus heroes. By the time their junior year rolled around, the university Chancellor herself would grace the Mipso shows with her keyboardist skills. By the time they graduated, Mipso would have performed for sold-out audiences at Carrboro's famous Cat's Cradle on four separate occasions.
On their journey to nationwide renown, Mipso has caused quite a stir. They would earn kudos from IndyWeek, where the unique band would be as crucial players in bluegrass roots revival in North Carolina for taking the genre's standard tropes for a long, dizzying, and totally catchy experimental ride. Previews of their exciting sophomore album, Long, Long Gone would be featured on WUNC.
In October of 2013 the band would release Dark Holler Pop with the help of North Carolina producer and Mandolin Orange hero Andrew Marlin as well as a number of other North Carolina musical luminaries. Members from Megafaun, Town Mountain, and Chatham County Line would all lend their rich and diverse musical expertise to this highly polished release.
Mipso has recently returned from a wildly successful tour of Japan whose thriving bluegrass community made for a resounding welcome, and followed this with a ream of packed audiences all across their home state. Sharp, Terrell, Rodenbough, and Robinson are in the process of getting used to their shift in identity from local legends to world ambassadors of the new bluegrass sound.
Previous Hits
Although they have yet to chart, you can be certain that one day soon Mipso will take the Billboard 200 by storm. This fledgling band has already found major renown for their live shows. Especially in the southeast, Mipso has been known for their relentless touring and insanely enjoyable live performances that cover everything from original tunes at a breakneck tempo to hilariously fun Michael Jackson covers in the bluegrass style. Imagine the most raucous college club concert, multiply it by ten, and steep it in good ol' tradition, and you can understand why Mipso's live shows are the lynchpin of their success.
Trivia
For their October 2013 show, the inestimable Mipso would play alongside none other than the Steep Canyon Rangers and David Holt in support of their latest album release. Both Holt and the Steep Canyon Rangers have got the Grammy nod (Holt, in fact, has earned no less than four Grammy wins). In such rarefied mountain air, the incredible Mipso is no doubt on the road to the highest success. Be sure to catch Mipso with the Steep Canyon Rangers again for their UNC performance this November.
