This High & Wides performance is part of a late-night show at the Garfield Center with The Dirty Grass Players
The High & Wides, like the large-haul trains for which the band is named, project a big, driving sound—mountain musical traditions re-imagined for a new century. Formed on Maryland's Eastern Shore in 2015, they write music about arson and hourly motels, dystopian love songs, and ballads of violent history. The High & Wides draw from their members' extensive backgrounds in bluegrass and take the music to a place all their own, recalling an era when old-time, rockabilly, and proto-rock'n'roll coexisted in a murky soup of hillbilly string band music.
Admittance to this special late night show with The High & Wides and The Dirty Grass Players is not part of the Festival Village Pass. A separate ticket is required for this show.
