From The High 48s' modern blend of bluegrass and Americana, to Back Up & Push's fresh take on hard-driving classic bluegrass, there will be enough hot licks and high lonesome harmonies to please any fan of this unique American art form. 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. Formed out of band members overlapping love of Kenny Baker fiddle tunes, Jim and Jesse vocal harmonies, Stanley and Scruggs banjo licks, and a healthy skepticism of guitar breaks, Back Up & Push takes trad bluegrass seriously so you don't have to. Vocals so high they make the lonesome hodag cry. Banjo rolls so fast you'll drink beer from a glass. Fiddle fills so far out even Vassar would approve. Bass so bumpin' it's no wonder Case Beer chose to be the official sponsor of this band. The High 48s Back Up & Push Originally built in 1931. Reimagined and restored in 2018. Dedicated to bringing people together through the thoughtful presentation of high-quality movies, music, and more.
