Keep Off the Grass History

Keep Off the Grass returns to the Quad City music scene!

A decade ago, one band name was premiere across the Quad Cities entertainment scene: Keep Off the Grass

Keep Off the Grass was renowned for their vocal harmonies and an eclectic selection of material that spanned rock, folk, country, progressive and art rock.

At a time when the bar circuit staple was rock and roll bands playing at full volume, Keep Off the Grass infiltrated the entertainment scene with their ahead-of-the-trend unplugged, acoustic format of rock songs, before MTV Unplugged made the format popular with the youth rock scene and a performance requisite for all music artists.

Keep Off the Grass quickly racked up local and regional awards, including multiple awards for most popular artist of the year in the Quad Cities and other areas of the Midwest.

Today, founding members of Keep Off the Grass reunite to bring their same sense of quality of sense of humor to the entertainment scene, because, after all these years, they just love doing it.

Having recently worked under the nom d'plures “Pat Foley & The Sellouts” and “Three Way Street,” these veteran entertainers return to the circuit to reconnect with their fans, to develop a new audience, and fill bars with happy patrons as they always have in the past.

Young at heart enough to sing both Grateful Dead and Green Day, they may be, but they are also seasoned enough to be excellent musicians. And they are mature enough to know that success is an intersection of points: when the venue is making money, and the audience is singing, laughing, and dancing, and the band is having so much fun they hate to take a break… everybody wins!

Their style of music:

Audiences are delighted by their surprising and unique versions of songs remembered from years ago and new songs heard in new ways.

One trademark of Keep Off the Grass is their bold, dynamic vocal delivery of songs that most groups don't try to perform, and songs presented in ways that other bands simply cannot… in rich three- and four-part harmonies, with excellent musicianship, in a stripped down, unplugged format.
