Like the music they play, Big Love Car Wash is full of dichotomies: whimsical yet serious, fanciful yet pragmatic, filled with lofty dreams yet grounded in reality.

Sol Chase, Everett Wren, David Rabinowitz, and Taylor Turner discovered that magic the first time they shared a stage together. Chase hired them all by chance for a bluegrass gig in Austin in 2022. From the first couple of songs, they had what musicians sometimes call “stage telepathy.”

Leaning into their love of bluegrass, folk, jazz, Celtic, and rock idioms, they honed an Americana-oriented, bluegrass-steeped sound built on rich traditions yet boldly exploratory. That sound takes flight on their self-produced debut album, Daydream, recorded at Austin’s fabled Arlyn Studios — where Willie Nelson’s influence fills every nook and cranny, inspiring four virtuosos to go where the music took them. The 16-track album will be available in June 2025.

Even the band’s name is a verbal reference to something like a group hug. The phrase came from the late Yonder Mountain String Band frontman and jamgrass luminary Jeff Austin. Austin once proclaimed that the vibe he received from a connected audience felt like moving through “a big love car wash.”
