The local barons of bone-crushing bluegrass, Grandpa’s Cough Medicine, sure had a good year. The band – Brett Bass on guitar/dobro/vocals, Mike “Banjo Boy” Coker on … um … banjo, and vocalist Jon Murphy on standup bass – released their well-received third album 180 Proof, 15 songs in their signature style of outlaw bluegrass, full of honky-tonk themes and flat-out virtuoso playing. The trio spent a good chunk of 2015 on the road, gigging at clubs and notable music fests around the nation. You say you want a raucous way to shut down 2015? Take a dose with GCM!
