Bluegrass at Higher Ground: Breakin' Strings!

Past event
Mar 9, 2024, 8:30 PM

Attention, music fans! Breakin' Strings will be at Higher Ground on March 9th. Breakin' Strings is a Nashville recording group based out of Maine and Vermont. The band's five members bring some elements of jamgrass to traditional bluegrass in a firey, up-tempo way.

Cliff Gelina, the leader and lead vocalist, has a soulful voice that heralds to that of Chris Stapleton. Cody Howe's wildfire guitar picking has been compared to Tony Rice's signature style. Sam Acus' mandolin playing takes on a unique, refreshing tone due to his heavy jazz influences, Amanda Gelina holds down the bass like nobody else, and Steven Peterson rips it up on banjo. They play every note they feel, and they feel every note they play.

Breakin' Strings was an IBMA Showcase band in 2022. They've been featured in various magazines, including Bluegrass Unlimited, the Bluegrass Standard, the Nashville Voyager, etc. The articles all agree on this: a Breakin' Strings show is not a show to miss. They bring a fun jam-packed flavor to bluegrass music with great tunes, great harmonies, and great connection. Breakin' Strings is also an exceptionally dynamic group that can switch between hard-drivin' fast tunes and heart-wrenching slow tunes on a dime. Catch a Breakin' Strings show soon!

In addition to all that, they're true to their name! Come to the show and count how many strings they break... Higher Ground, March 9th! Buy tickets at https://shorturl.at/ghjT1
