After 2 years of touring and performing their last album “Wooden Duck”, garage-grass outfit, Green Mohair Suits are back with a brand new album Evans Street., due for release on Oct 1st. 

Using an unprecedented approach, the ‘Mohairs’ decided it was time to leave the full band experience and slick production. The core members, Ben Romalis, Brian Campeau, Jason Mannell and Richard Cuthbert chose to reconnect with the bare essentials of the band and make a basic true-to-form acoustic record, no gimmicks required.

Differentiating themselves from the rest of the Australian Bluegrass and Country scene the band wanted to create a record which showed, using their most basic elements, why the Green Mohair Suits stand apart as a band. 

To do this, they chose to travel to the mountains of Colorado, USA. After hopping on a plane, the boys found themselves in a timber lounge room on Evans St, Lyons, Colorado at the foothills of the Rockies. Surviving through home-made lunches, numerous cases of beer, occasional illicit substances, and freezing temperatures, the Mohairs managed to record an intimate and highly personal album quite different from any of their previous, more polished releases.

For a band of men who’ve made their mark as booze-soaked, swearing blokes on the fringes of bluegrass and country, this album is a huge turning point for them and offers a look into their most intimate thoughts. Evans Street is deep, vulnerable, and naked. It says, “here i am, exactly as i am, with nothing to hide.”
