SUMMARY:The High 48s - Modern Bluegrass Band
DESCRIPTION:On Saturday\, February 17\, 2018\, at 7:30 p.m. the award-winning quintet\, The High 48s\, will share its soulful sound of classic bluegrass with a modern attitude\, original songs\, and a wide range of influences far beyond Bill Monroe\, the Stanley Brothers\, and Flatt and Scruggs.\n\nOriginating from the upper Midwest\, The High 48s takes its name from railroad slang for the boxcars originally used to transport troops on the front lines in WWI that could carry 40 soldiers or 8 horses\, and were later used in the US on fast-moving "hot shot" freight trains by train-hoppers looking for work during the Great Depression.\n\nIn 2017\, the 48s will celebrate the release of their seventh album\, Daddy Was a Bankrobber\, a collection of High 48s originals\, straight-up hard 'grass and the band's distinctive take on songs by the likes of John Hartford\, Robbie Fulks and the Clash.\n\nThis album is the culmination of many years of hard work. With band members who honed their bluegrass chops playing with Grammy-nominees Special Consensus and traditional bluegrass legend James King\, as well as the many road miles logged since their win at the RockyGrass Band Competition in 2008 brought them national recognition\, the 48s have never sounded better.
