If Jerry Garcia and Tom Waits made an Appalachian music group, it might sound a little like the Brown Mountain Lightning Bugs. Blending the traditional with the trippy, the Bugs create a musical experience that gets toes tapping and heads bobbing. Their unique blend of sounds and easygoing personalities have earned the duo slots at Anchorage Folk Festival, Mill Farm Music Party (UK), Mallarme Dynamic Duos, Rockwood Music Hall, Piedmont Folkways, and more.
