Fadin’ by 9
Bluegrass fusion & fun, just the way we like it.
Fadin’ by 9 is a collection of many musical streams, converging into the great river of bluegrass. As long as there’s a driving beat, interesting lyrics, places to harmonize and show off tasty licks, we’ll give it a try. We’ve been together going on 18 years now, evolving as we go. We pull from our various musical histories, from traditional bluegrass to more contemporary tunes that, in Seth’s words, “were really bluegrass tunes from the beginning, but never knew it until we got to them.” Come find out what we mean at an upcoming show.
We are excited to get back on the road this year to play for you and maybe send you home with a CD or a link to our music. Check the Upcoming Shows page or contact us for your next party.

-
Seth Moran
In his videos, Seth loops multiple parts of a piece, with himself playing them all in multiple frames. Stunning. And yet he still only brings one of himself to our gigs. What’s the deal?
-
Joe Lapidus
Joe can play the banjo with his teeth, behind his back, or on top of his head. And he does it all so quickly, it can’t be seen by the human eye. Although kittens can detect the movement.
-
Dave Irwin
The guitar player with singer/songwriter folk/rock roots. Fashion statement — he’s dyeing those roots blue…grass. So far so good.
-
Ben Shafton
The bass player with the best hat collection at any festival. For any weather. And Ben’s dog Patty is the fifth Niner.
