Want to see one of the best bluegrass bands in Denver?

Then you're in luck: High Lonesome will perform an intimate set at the Westword office on Thursday, October 3. The concert will begin at 6:30 p.m. and will be followed by a Q&A with the band at 7 p.m. Doors open at 6 p.m.

Westword members will get first dibs on being part of the audience; if you aren't yet a member and want to guarantee your spot, you can become one by giving any amount to support our newsroom. Any last-second spaces will be offered to our newsletter subscribers.
This is a show you won't want to miss: Combining a pleasing mash of mandolin, dobro, fiddle, guitar and bass, High Lonesome seeks to put a new spin on good old hard-driving bluegrass by way of tight harmonies, melodic original material, and an expansive reach that takes in music from various realms, including jazz and jam influences as well as traditional bluegrass. There's a good reason the band made our list of best bluegrass bands, alongside musical influences such as Hot Rize and the Infamous Stringdusters.

High Lonesome is releasing its highly anticipated debut album this November; be one of the first to hear its new tunes at the Westword office concert. Then catch the band for its album-release show at Swallow Hill Music on Saturday, November 2.
