Details:
The High Windy Band is a look at the future of Bluegrass music. This award winning group''s roots run very deep in the traditional sounds they heard growing up and they bring a modern contemporary spin to fantastic original songs. Hard driving, yet smooth as silk, HWB leads the way in today’s crowded field of young Bluegrass troubadours. Look for much to come from this tight, energetic 5-piece supergroup.
