BAND LINE-UP
Eugene Tyler Band - Indie-bluegrass trio Eugene Tyler Band is a road band, cutting their teeth on the bluegrass festival circuit and clubs across the northeast. But their newest record, Low It Goes, captures the free-wheeling intensity of those live shows and showcases the cathartic, irreverent songwriting that has won them fans all over the country.
J.M. Clifford Band - J.M. Clifford is a singer-songwriter and music educator from Brooklyn, NY. His music draws on Bluegrass, Folk and Americana. Clifford’s debut record, “On a Saturday Night,” was featured in The Bluegrass Situation and received rave reviews from Bluegrass Today and Holler Country.
Four Bridges - A New England-based bluegrass band, Four Bridges has performed together since 2013. From fast-paced, hard-hitting bluegrass to sultry and down-home country music, Four Bridges Bluegrass Band encompasses a wide range of traditional sounds that burn with their own vibe.
