Kids These Days
Well, the music scene in Gorge
is off to a great start this year, wouldn’t you say? And there’s
no sign of it slowing down in February.
And part of the reason? Kids
these days seem to be listening to the music of David Grisman, Old
Crow Medicine Show, and Railroad Earth. Being far from the genre
of Top 40 and Lady Gaga (or whoever that is), this alternative
acoustic music is inspiring these kids to pick up whatever old
bluegrass instruments happen to be laying around, throwing bands
together, and then by hook or crook booking themselves into
extensive tours.
Case in point: The Montana
Slim String Band. In January and February for this year alone,
they will have played over 17 venues in at least eight different
states, consistently dishing out their “original youthful
interpretation of bluegrass” where ever they go.
Thankfully, one of those
venues is really close by. So mark it on the calendar, and come
see what kids are doing these days.

The Montana Slim String Band will be at
Everybody’s Brewing in White Salmon on Friday, Feb. 12.
