The makers of award-winning PBS program Bluegrass Underground have announced its fifth-season lineup, which ranges from traditional bluegrass acts to jamgrass favorites. The program will be filmed before a live audience in The Volcano Room, a naturally formed amphitheater below ground at Cumberland Caverns in McMinnville, Tenn., about an hour’s drive from Murfreesboro.
The fifth season will kick off Friday, March 27, with performances by the Nashville-based banjo duo Béla Fleck and Abigail Washburn, Hot Rize, Texas singer/songwriter Robert Earl Keen and Chatham County Line.
The March 28 show features bluegrass family band The Quebe Sisters, The Earls of Leicester—a Jerry Douglas-led tribute to bluegrass pioneers Flatt & Scruggs and the Foggy Mountain Boys—soulful singer/songwriter Amos Lee and Lee Ann Womack.
The three-day concert series will come to a close on March 29 with jam bands Greensky Bluegrass, Railroad Earth and Leftover Salmon.
