McMinnville, TN will host the 5th installment of Bluegrass Underground on March 27th-29th, 2015 for PBS. The event is held 333 feet underground in the Volcano Room of Cumberland Caverns. Recently we caught Manchester Orchestra for an acoustic show and were floored at the spectacular ambience of the cave. Minimal lighting and a beautiful chandelier add to the breath taking display.
Tickets go on sale Saturday 1/24 at 10am est. Performances will include: Bela Fleck & Abigail Washburn, Hot Rize, Chatham County Line and Robert Earl Keen on 3/27; Jerry Douglas presents The Earls of Leicester, Billy Joe Shaver (1/20 addition), Lee Ann Womack, Amos Lee and The Quebe Sisters on 3/28; and 3/29 (which is jaw dropping) features Greensky Bluegrass, Leftover Salmon and Railroad Earth.
