Grandpa's Cough Medicine is an outlaw bluegrass trio hailing from the swamps of Florida, known for their hard-driving rhythms, white-knuckle instrumentals, and darkly comedic lyrics that push the boundaries of traditional bluegrass music. Formed in 2011, the band consists of Brett Bass on guitar, Jon Murphy on double bass, and most notably, Mikey Coker on the banjo—their combined talents forging a sound that's as intoxicating as the elixir the band is metaphorically named after.

With a discography that embodies the rebellious spirit of the South, their music blends the technical prowess of classical bluegrass with the edgy energy of Southern rock. Among their most recent releases, "Don't Poke the Bear" and "Cancel This" continue to showcase their signature defiance against the mainstream, while "Decapitator" and "180 Proof" boast their skillful mastery of stringed instruments. "The Murder Chord" and "Jailbird Blues" further cement their reputation as storytellers who can spin yarns ranging from mischievous to macabre, adding a layer of depth to their fiercely plucked melodies. Grandpa's Cough Medicine is not your grandfather's bluegrass band, and yet they've found a way to honor the genre's roots while simultaneously taking a chainsaw to its conventions.
