The High 48s are returning to Common Ground for our December show this year and you won’t want to miss it! Come on out for a great evening of bluegrass cheer!
Since forming in northeast Minneapolis in 2006, The High 48s have been making music that combines the soulful sound of classic bluegrass with a modern attitude. They’re a band with one foot in tradition and the other in the world of music today, and one of the very few who can find an overlooked bluegrass classic in a song by M. Ward or the Clash then throw down hard on a standard by Bill Monroe. The High 48s are also a band of songwriters. Here, too, they take a modern approach, heeding the well-worn advice to writers: write what you know. Their songs ring true to their lives as northern city-folk rather than an imagined “sweet, sunny south” of coal mines and dark hollers.
Refreshments will be served following the concert.Adult tickets are $17 in advance online or $20 at the door. Tickets for kids aged 6-12 are $10.
