But forreal, if anyone is into bluegrass, check out Billy Strings. Dude is changing the game. The band is playing really tight right now and is blowing people away. He grew up cutting his chops on the classics like Doc Watson, Bill Monroe, etc., newgrass like Sam Bush and Tony Rice etc., and classic rock like Johnny Winter and Zeppelin. He's the real deal.
I get emails from them almost weekly. I went to at least three BGU tapings at Cumberland Caverns, so I guess I got on a list. I have not been to the new cave yet but have tickets for Hot Tuna. Kind of torn about going because after the Hot Tuna show was announced, one of my favorite college bands (Allgood) booked a club show the same night and they will be followed by Jack Pearson, so I'd expect some special ABB-family jam session.Yes... I'm curious how word is getting around for other genres besides Bluegrass.
I worked at the World's Fair for Buddy's and they had bluegrass bands there all the time. I didn't like our much before, but it really grows on you.When I was at UT, we'd go to Buddy's BBQ (I think - a BBQ place, anyway) on Friday's to listen/watch Knoxville Grass play. Had to get there really early in the late afternoon to get a place at one of the long tables to sit, order food and beer, and wait. Good times!!!
Check it and see!
