Three Mile Grade is a Bay Area-based roots music band that stands with its feet in traditional bluegrass, its heart in country gospel, and an eye on folk music from around the world. The 'Grade's repertoire also spans three centuries, from the "old time" music of the 1800's, through to their own homespun ruminations on contemporary life.   Band members comprise an eclectic mix of individuals from the west coast, the deep south, and rural Appalachia: Tom Brigham (banjo, guitar), Mark Jeffery (dobro, mandolin, accordion) and Steve Lanza (fiddle) are all Bay Area natives, while Sam Price (bass) is a New Orleans transplant who brings a rich Cajun and jazz flavor to the band. Jace Aaron (washboard, percussion) was born and raised in Tennessee, and is a veteran of the music scene there. ;
