Biography:
Town Mountain is an American bluegrass band from Asheville, North Carolina.
The band occupies the common ground between traditional bluegrass, outlaw country, and pure old time mountain music. It's a group that harnesses the frantic energy of the modern punk string band, yet still remains respectfully rooted in the tradition of Bill Monroe. The band has one foot proudly planted in the path of traditional bluegrass, and one foot stepping out into the unknown forefront of American string music.
