And what would a Livermush Festival be without the sounds of great traditional mountain music? Wiregrass' five member band and their influences come from every musical avenue. Although Bluegrass is what brought them together, it's not all they do. With a mix of genres from Flatt & Scruggs to Lynyrd Skynyrd and beyond, Wiregrass has something for everyone. Members include: Jamey Harrison on guitar and vocals, Scott Lail on banjo, Dobro and vocals, Brad Davis on bass guitar and vocals, Jeremy Green on mandolin and vocals and Tyler Leonard on lead guitar and vocals.
At 6:15 pm, Little Miss McDowell, Greenleigh Strode, will be performing!
