Enjoy the music of High and Wides as they entertian you for the afternoon. The High & Wides play string band music from an alternate timeline, one where Bill Monroe's "Rocky Road Blues" made him an international superstar and the rock'n'roll revolution was led by fiddlers and banjo players. With roots in urban Baltimore and the rural Delmarva peninsula, they draw on bluegrass backgrounds and weave in influences from new wave to old time to make music that defies boundaries while evoking the era when country, bluegrass, western swing, and early rock'n'roll mingled freely.They have three albums: 2018's "Lifted" (named for the gear theft that forced the band to re-record the completed album from scratch) and 2019's "Seven True Stories" feature the band's strong songwriting and arranging, and 2022's "Blood: Family Harmony Classics" highlights their roots with covers of songs by groups such as the Kershaw Brothers, Maddox Brothers & Rose, and the Carter Family.
