ANOTHER NIGHT OF BLUEGRASS FEATURING MONROE CROSSING TO BE HELD THIS WEEKEND

Posted on

Monroe CrossingThe City of Thomasville, in partnership with WTUF-FM, will present Another Night of Bluegrass featuring Monroe Crossing on Saturday, January 18th, 2020 at 7:30 p.m. The concert will be held in the Municipal Auditorium at 144 East Jackson Street.

Named in honor of Bill Monroe, “The Father of Bluegrass Music,” Monroe Crossing dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, original bluegrass and even selections outside the bluegrass genre. Their superb musicianship and on-stage rapport have entertained audiences across the United States, Canada and Europe.

Monroe Crossing is made up of five very distinct personalities with differing musical backgrounds. When combined, their individual histories make for a unique sound. The three original members are: Mark Anderson (bass), Lisa Fuglie (fiddle & lead vocals) and Matt Thompson (mandolin & harmony vocals). Derek Johnson (guitar & lead vocals) joined in 2011. David Robinson (banjo, dobro & backing vocals) joined in 2012 and now performs with the band on a part-time basis.

Whether playing traditional bluegrass, original bluegrass or some surprising songs outside the bluegrass genre, Monroe Crossing is one of the most entertaining acts in bluegrass today!
