Mountain Grass Unit - Appalachian Smoke Tour

The Read

Mountain Grass Unit belong to the current wave of players who grew up on traditional bluegrass and jam-band records at the same time and never accepted that those were separate categories. The picking is legitimate; the arrangements wander further than a festival main stage would allow. It is the sound of a generation treating this music as a living thing rather than a museum piece. They are on the Opry the night before this, which is the useful contrast — the same band, radically different rooms, twenty-four hours apart. Brooklyn Bowl gives them a bar crowd, a big PA, and no time limit. Expect longer versions of everything and a floor that ends up moving.

The Room

Brooklyn Bowl

925 3rd Ave N

A Germantown venue where national touring acts share a building with bowling, food, and enough logistical ease to make group-night planning simple.
