Led by “Rappalachian” mastermind Rench, the group’s “Long Hard Times to Come” won an instant national audience as the theme for Elmore Leonard’s classic TV EMMY-nominated series Justified. Gangstagrass has continued successfully mining that unlikely mashup, finding common ground on the dance floors of both rural and urban America.
