NOTE - THIS SHOW IS AT ACOUSTIC MUSIC WORKS' NEW LOCATION, 1219 BINGHAM ON THE SOUTH SIDE!
Thursday August 21st, 2025 - It’s bluegrass night at AMW! We have a double bill of two terrific bands : joining us from down in North Carolina is the Asheville Mountain Boys and Pittsburgh’s own Sweaty Already String Band opening up the show.
By their name, you know where they are from, and by their sound, you know what they are about. The Asheville Mountain Boys are on a mission to capture not just the style but the spirit of traditional bluegrass. Asheville, NC has long been known for great music and its roots in bluegrass go back to the founding of the genre (Bill Monroe’s first broadcast performance as the Bluegrass Boys was at Asheville radio station WWNC in 1938) A group that firmly stakes its claim to the tradition of the music from the area, The Asheville Mountain Boys spring onto the scene with a thought,” What happened to bluegrass?” It’s not a disparaging one that condemns current styles in the genre but rather asks, “Why do we love this music in the first place” and answers with an approach that is true to the originators of the genre in the sense of both style and philosophy. Bluegrass is raw emotion, excitement, drive, and authenticity. It is not sanitized or compromised but a reflection of the lives of those who play it. It’s storytelling that follows a throughline of tradition.
Sweaty Already String Band hits the stage with a blend of traditional and modern bluegrass, along with some unexpected covers and original tunes steeped in the tradition of the Appalachian region where they grew up.
The show - seating is extremely limited! We are offering pre-sale on 50 tickets and then will revert to standing room only on the day of the show. Doors at 7pm, music starting around 7:30pm. $20 guarantees a seat, though not any seat in particular! First come, first pick. This show will be BYOB. Please call us at the shop with any questions!
