Town Mountain

It’s misnomer to call Town Mountain a bluegrass band, because although the quintet sticks to a mostly acoustic configuration and an authentic strain of quicksilver mountain music still threads through the group’s DNA, it’s more accurate to call them a mix of authentic storytelling country and primal rock ‘n’ roll. Accolades have flooded in for this Asheville combo, focusing on its fusion of tradition, transcendence and the experimentation.
