After playing around campfires and cabins for years, this group formed in 2006. It can best be described as a mountain, new grass, string band. The Kudzu Killers cover music both new and old. Heavily influenced by the current New Grass movement, they also draw from the 70's outlaw country classics. Their motto is, "If it ain't fun, we ain't doin' it!!!" They definitely get that message across to their audience.
