February 8th brings a very special Winter Bluegrass Jubilee to South Undermountain road! For one frosty Saturday Race Brook Lodge will transform into a toasty pickin party hosted by the Catskill Mountain String Band. Bring your four strings and five strings and six strings and eight strings! A set of music followed an extended jam session in multiple spaces throughout our rustic Tavern environs.
Catskill Mountain String Band formed in 2020 when a few old friends decided to get together once a week and play bluegrass and fiddle music for fun. Their music is most influenced by the early sounds of bluegrass with a good bit of old time fiddle music and little country feel to round it out. Their motto is “Good Friends, Great Music!” and that’s how their shows feel, a gathering of friends for a night of fun and music.
