The Bluegrass Underground team has announced the lineup for its next PBS taping weekend—three days of performances packed with stellar artists.

Cumberland Caverns, located just outside of McMinnville, generally hosts one bluegrass show each month, and has developed a reputation for attracting some of the biggest names in the industry. However, from March 8 through 10, the cave’s Volcano Room will be hosting three straight days of music, which can be seen and heard when the performances air on PBS affiliates later in the year.

The weekend includes festival favorites Yonder Mountain String Band and the North Mississippi Allstars, legendary rocker and pianist Leon Russell, the more traditional bluegrass sounds of The SteelDrivers and The Infamous Stringdusters, singer/violinist Andrew Bird, hard-touring string band Old Crow Medicine Show, up-and-coming duo JOHNNYSWIM, the Wood Brothers (featuring Medeski, Martin & Wood co-founder Chris Wood), cellist Ben Sollee, Cajun-tinged BeauSoleil and banjoist Alison Brown fronting the Alison Brown Quartet.
