Got plans for Wednesday night? Maybe now you do. If you love traditional bluegrass music, win two tickets NOW to see the Kickin’ Grass Band at the Greagle on Wednesday August 8.
First commenter to tell us the name of the band’s hometown wins tickets. Please use or include your full first and last name in your comment, so we can tell the Grey Eagle who to hold tickets for.
The Kickin Grass Band takes the stage, and suddenly you’re captivated by pure, strong voices telling true-to-life stories spiced with innovative bluegrass instrumentation. You fall in love with the rootsy, Americana style, and can’t wait for more. Fortunately, their third release, simply titled The Kickin Grass Band, displays all the chops, emotion and effusive energy of the band’s live show.
The group’s fan base continues to expand and grow, as does their talent and musicianship. “I have had my eyes (and ears) tuned to this wonderfully innovative band from its very beginnings almost 7 years ago,” says Barry Poss, founder of Sugar Hill Records. “I’ve seen them rehearse, watched their live shows and critiqued their recordings…Kickin Grass’s artistry has taken a giant leap forward. They are in a whole different league now. ”
The Kickin Grass Band’s songs – some mournful, some jubilant – reflect the depth and breadth of the human experience. Dave Higgs from Nashville Public Radio raves: “Lynda Dawson is a truly gifted songwriter who writes intelligently crafted lyrics, which she marries to unforgettable melodies.”
8:30pm. $8 advance / $10 day of show.
Advance tickets available online and at local outlets. Limited seating available.
Raleigh, Land of the Loblolly Pine.
