Ragged Union in Concert and Conversation

bluegrass

Friday, August 15

8:00 pm - 10:00 pm

Ragged Union’s signature bluegrass-and-beyond sound has appeared at festivals, concert series and events all across the USA, England, and China, since 2013. The band’s recipe for tasty contemporary bluegrass contains three main ingredients: ‘Outsider Songwriting’ – poetic lyrics that stretch beyond the ‘normal’ country themes, ‘Timeless Melodies’ that are new, yet sound familiar and classic, and ‘Unexpected Arrangements’, rich compositional ideas, changes in feel and tempo, and an overall songwriting approach that isn’t trying to conform to what everyone else is doing. All of these concepts come together in an impressively exciting and memorable live performance.
