Some rooms want a concert. Some want a program.
High & Lonesome: A Journey Through Bluegrass Music is our presented program for libraries, museums, churches and senior communities — live performance and the story of the music together, in one sitting. Typically 45 to 60 minutes.
Choose it as your event type below and we'll send the full program description.
"I've worked with dozens of bands over the years, and no group nails it like the Hot Pickin 57s. Day of show they're hassle free. During the performance they crush it with fun originals, spot-on classics, incredible talent, energized presence, and some jokes between songs to catch your breath. I literally couldn't recommend them more."
