After 15 years, 8 albums, innumerable sold out shows, and countless memories, Americana mavericks Horseshoes & Hand Grenades appropriately consider themselves a “family” on a wild, wonderful, and often whacky roller coaster. The bond between the quintet— Adam Greuel [guitar], David C. Lynch [harmonica, accordion], Collin Mettelka [fiddle], Russell Pedersen [banjo], and Samual Odin [bass]— fuels their creativity and chemistry on stage and in the studio.
“Horseshoes & Hand Grenades has always been about the adventure of it all,” Adam affirms with a grin. “We set out to have a bunch of fun making music that we believed in. Along the way, friends and fans started coming along for the ride and that added a whole other sense of magic and joy to it. It built this feeling of community, and that’s something we need in this world more than ever right now: some sense of fellowship, and music is such a sweet conduit to that.”
That community has rapidly grown since the five musicians first met in Stevens Point, WI at college, joined forces, and hit the road harder post-graduation in roughly 2013. They have ignited stages alongside everyone from Billy Strings, Greensky Bluegrass, Trampled By Turtles, The Infamous Stringdusters, and Railroad Earth, to Merle Haggard and Marty Stuart in addition to appearances at festivals and venues such as Telluride Bluegrass Festival, Delfest, High Sierra Music Festival, Blue Ox Music Festival, Red Rocks Amphitheater and Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium.
