Lettuce on Bluegrass Underground, "JB's Squadlive"

Formed in 1992, Lettuce was founded on a shared love of funk artists like Earth, Wind & Fire and Tower of Power. Lettuce brilliantly infuses their psychedelic/hip-hop sensibilities to bring a refreshing vitality to classic funk. Their tight sense of unity springs from a camaraderie that's only intensified over the lifespan of the band, deepening a sonic freedom with the infectious energy of an incendiary live show.

Taped deep within the subterranean amphitheater of The Caverns in the majestic Cumberland Mountains near Pelham, TN, this "musical adventure" series features both long-established and emerging artists within a broad spectrum of genres to include Roots-Rock, Jamband, R&B, Soul, Folk, Americana, and yes…even Bluegrass!

Season 8's featured artists also include Brandi Carlile, Billy Strings, Aaron Lee Tasjan, Sam Bush Band, Sweet Lizzy Project, Tim O’Brien, Kathy Mattea, the Rev. Osagyefo Sekou, Turnpike Troubadours, Mary Gauthier, Flatt Lonesome, and Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper.

This is the first season for Bluegrass Underground in her new home in The Caverns. With a bigger room, broader stage and larger audience, every aspect of The Caverns heightens the experience of great music underground for concert fans and PBS home viewers alike.
