The Special Consensus is a bluegrass band that has achieved a contemporary sound in their four decades of performing. The band is led by Greg Cahill, banjo player and recipient of the prestigious Distinguished Achievement Award from the International Bluegrass Music Association (IBMA). He has also been inducted into the Society for the Preservation of Bluegrass Music in America Hall of Greats. The band includes Dan Eubanks (bass), Greg Blake (guitar) and Michael Prewitt (mandolin). They are four talented vocalists and instrumentalists who follow their creative desires without straying too far from their bluegrass roots.
The Special Consensus has received seven IBMA Awards and two Grammy nominations (Scratch Gravel Road in 2012 and Rivers and Roads in 2018). The band’s 19th recording, Rivers and Roads, was nominated for the 2018 Best Bluegrass Album GRAMMY award and received 2018 IBMA awards for Album of the Year and Instrumental Recorded Performance of the Year (for the tune “Squirrel Hunters”). Guitar player Greg Blake received the 2023 IBMA Male Vocalist of the Year award! The song “Chicago Barn Dance” from their 20th recording of the same name received the 2020 IBMA Song of the Year award.
Great Blue North (2023), their 21st recording, is a tip of the hat to Canadian friends and fans made throughout nearly four decades of touring. All songs on the recording were written by Canadian writers and numerous Canadian musician friends made guest appearances. The Gordon Lightfoot song “Alberta Bound” received the 2023 IBMA Collaborative Recording of the Year award.
