Freshgrass Awards
North Adams, MA
An award winning multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, composer and bandleader, G Rockwell has performed and competed on stages across the country. In 2022, G won the Freshgrass competition award for banjo.
His unique style of Americana sits somewhere between the traditions of bluegrass and gypsy jazz; with the modern influences of artists like David Grisman and Tony Trischka. G brings a cross-cultural sound into his original music with global influences from Celtic fiddle music to Middle Eastern folk tunes.
Graduating from the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music in 2024; G performs and teaches on multiple instruments. When he isn't performing with G Rockwell Band, you might find him on stage with Jacob's Ladder, Bookmatch, Cahaba Roots or High Horse.
G has worked on multiple studio album/EP projects with bands, playing guitar, banjo and mandolin. His original compositions have been released on Spark! (2019), Beacon Street Time (with Micah Nicol 2021) and Bouyancy (2023).
