Airshow

jam band · bluegrass · newgrass

Airshow is a jam band based in Nashville, Tennessee. Guitarist Steve Gallagher and mandolinist Cody Chelius, longtime friends, started the group in Reading, Pennsylvania before relocating to Nashville in 2015; bassist Bill Baker and drummer John Rodrigue completed the lineup in 2016, and all four members sing. The band's material moves between acoustic string-band textures and electric, effects-heavy playing, with extended improvisation as the main organizing device; the group describes its own aim as a contrast between a campfire picking party and something considerably further out. Airshow released the EP Lightbulb in 2017, followed by the six-song studio album Up in the Clouds in 2019, recorded with Alphonso Wesby on drums, the EP Anubis in 2020, and Shimmer in 2021, the last of which was cut over two days at The Studio Nashville in November 2020. The band tours steadily through the Southeast, Midwest and Northeast, playing rooms such as The Basement in Nashville, Songbirds in Chattanooga and the Charleston Pour House, and it has released live recordings from those runs alongside the studio catalog. Its dates also include New Terrain Brewing Co. in Golden, Colorado, and The Caverns in Pelham, Tennessee.
