With their distinctive blend of traditional roots music and the infectious energy of the Big Easy, the Tanglers have earned a well-deserved reputation as one of the city's top bluegrass bands..

The Tanglers' journey began when a group of like-minded musicians came together in the heart of New Orleans, driven by their shared love for the timeless sounds of bluegrass. Inspired by the city's rich musical heritage, they set out to infuse the genre with a distinctive New Orleans flair. The result is a toe-tapping, hand-clapping fusion that captures the essence of both Appalachia and the Crescent City.

The Tanglers feature an ensemble of exceptionally talented musicians. The lineup includes Matt Rota on banjo, Graham Robinson on bass, Dylan Williams on mandolin, Jacob Tanner on dobro, Craig Alexander on guitar, and James Hausman on fiddle. Together, they create a sonic landscape that is as dynamic as it is authentic.

Over the years, the Tanglers have graced stages at some of New Orleans' most iconic venues, winning the hearts of both locals and visitors with their infectious melodies and high-spirited performances. However, it was their electrifying performance at Jazz Fest 2023 that truly solidified their status as a rising force in the New Orleans acoustic scene. In addition to their Jazz Fest debut, the Tanglers have taken the stage at various regional festivals, including Hulaween in FL, and Louisiana favorites, like Fete Du Void and  Wild Things Family Reunion.

The Tanglers have also recently finished laying down the tracks for an upcoming album, which will be hitting the streets around the end of 2023.

With their passion for preserving the authenticity of bluegrass while pushing the boundaries of the genre, the Tanglers Bluegrass Band is a testament to the creative spirit of New Orleans.
