Town Mountain
One of the very cool things to happen in Denver’s Jam Grass scene is Cervantes Other Side’s “Grass for that Ass” series happening on Thursdays. From the Cervantes website, “GRASS FOR THAT ASS is a Thursday Weekly at The Other Side feat. Bluegrass, Delta Blues, Dancegrass, Stompgrass, Jamgrass, Folk, and every kind of music with strings attached!”
Tonight’s lineup is headlined by an amazing band called Town Mountain. I first saw Town Mountain perform last year in their hometown of Asheville, NC as a warm up for Elephant Revival and Leftover Salmon. The band has a great sound and will have you dancing after just a few notes.
From a recent note from the band: “The sound of the award-winning group Town Mountain can best be described as traditional bluegrass, albeit with a rough-hewn side to it that is not too slick or glossy. They are a band of the here-and-now, yet they have a groove that is based on the bluesy and swinging sounds explored by the first generation of bluegrass pioneers of the last century. With the success of their latest album, Leave The Bottle, the word is out with some of their best reviews yet.”
So grab this opportunity and head down to Cervantes tonight to check out the show that also features The Quick & Easy Boys and Acoustic Mining Company.
Here is a Town Mountain Video to get you warmed up for the show.
