35

"Yes, Special Consensus may be Chicago's very own veteran bluegrass band, but talent like this is the property of the world." The Chicago Tribune Chicago-based Special Consensus celebrates its 35th anniversary with the release of 35. The group's 10th release, features band founder Greg Cahill (banjo and vocals), Rick Faris (mandolin and vocals), David Thomas (bass and vocals) and Ryan Roberts (guitar and vocals) on a high powered bluegrass set which includes six new tracks and six tracks compiled from now out of print releases featuring lead vocals from some of the band's most illustrious former members. Over the course of their lengthy career Special Consensus has proven themselves to be one of the top selling bands in the genre; in terms of its theme, 35 is a follow-up to the band's 2000 release 25th Anniversary which has been the band's best seller to date. Special Consensus was founded in 1975 by banjoist (and current President of the International Bluegrass Music Association) Greg Cahill as a showcase for his urban traditionalist's take on bluegrass which encompasses elements of Chicago blues, swing, newgrass, and country music. Over the intervening 35 years, the group has seen a myriad of personnel changes and has been the breeding ground for some of the best young stars in bluegrass today; Josh Williams, Chris Jones and Robbie Fulks are just a few names in a long list of former members who have gone on to build solo careers. Special Consensus maintains a busy year round touring schedule, reaching an eclectic demographic through appearances at festivals, listening rooms, bluegrass in the schools programs and symphony appearances.
