Laurie Lewis & The Right Hands at 3rd and Lindsley

Bluegrass on 3rd pairs California and Carolina on one stage at 3rd and Lindsley. Headlining is Laurie Lewis, a singer, songwriter, and fiddler who has been a longtime fixture of bluegrass for more than four decades. Known for moving fluidly between bluegrass, folk, and Americana, she leads her band The Right Hands through a set that spans the music's roots and its more contemporary reaches. Opening the night are the Asheville Mountain Boys, a young North Carolina band devoted to the raw, hard-driving sound and spirit of bluegrass's earliest days.

Together, the two acts offer an evening that traces the genre's full arc—from the early traditions of the Carolina mountains to the California bluegrass Lewis helped reshape. For listeners, it's a chance to hear where bluegrass began and how far it has traveled, all in one evening.
