  • 6:pm - Four Fights per Pint, Four Fights Per Pint formed via the good old internet. The band came together over the course of a couple of years with the help of online classified ads. Finally, like-minded individuals with talent, humor, and no egos found each other with the goal of picking some solid bluegrass and having a great time.

  • Leander Blue Grass Festival Celebrates 8th Annual Event7:pm - The Bottom Dollar String Band, Formed in the hills of central Texas in early 2011 Bottom Dollar String Band began making music with just a mandolin and banjo. Sparked by a love of old-timey string bands and traditional music the two friends began exploring the great music of America's past together.

  • 8:pm - The Devin Jake Band, Devin has the true make-up of a classic country-roots singer…a small town boy from a musical family with first-hand knowledge of heartbreak and the lonesome, haunting lyrics and vocals to portray it.

  • 9:pm - The Carper Family, The Carper Family is a family band like no other, spinning out the effortless harmonies of a born-family with the range and diversity of a made-family...  Whatever the bloodline, the music hits the ear with both depth and simplicity, capturing the essence of true country music.

I haven't heard of these groups, but I'm always up for a bluegrass show. I love bluegrass music. One of my favorite groups is the Seldom Scene. They are awesome. Great localism blog, Bob.

Debbie Reynolds, I love bluegrass my grandfather use to play and our next door neighbors would have jazz gatherings and as kids we would dance around the while they played.
