Cast iron filter who are we to question love


Cast Iron Filter is a band based in Davidson, North Carolina. Their genre is similar to that of Progressive Bluegrass, but Cast Iron Filter's fans call it "Irongrass." The band had been praised for its instrumental finesse and has been related to a Jamband that knows when to stop; they could even be considered a hayseed Nickel Creek.
The band members include, Brian Burton (Drummer), Dustin Edge (Lead Singer and Guitar Player), Mike Orlando (Mandolin/Banjo Player) and Phil Skipper (Bass Player). Former members include Tim Helfrich (drums), Mason Bissett (bass), Jim Ashton (steel guitar), Howie Cockrill (fiddle/bass), and Randy Culbertson (Guitar).
