Join beloved local Bluegrass band, Touch of Grass to hear some twangy tunes! This event is part of our Circulating Sound Concert Series, highlighting a variety of live music. It is free and open to the public.
Bluegrass music is a genre of American roots music that developed in the 1940s in the Appalachian region of the United States. However, the origin of bluegrass music can be traced to the people who came to America in the 1600s from Ireland, Scotland, and England and brought with them basic styles of music that are generally considered to be the roots of modern bluegrass. Bluegrass music is now performed and enjoyed around the world. The International Bluegrass Music Association claims members in all 50 states and 30 countries.
This event is made possible by Friends of the Library through gifts to The Indianapolis Public Library Foundation.
