Talking with Mountain Grass Unit: Band History, Upcoming Performances and a few Surprises (S2.Ep20)

Author: Nate Riggs December 13, 2024 Duration: 34:57

In Ep.20 of the Music Festivals Podcast, I talk with the fellas from Mountain Grass Unit, one of the hottest new bands on the national bluegrass scene. Talking with Drury Anderson, Luke Black, Sam Wilson and Josiah Nelson was a real treat -- since seeing them live at Renewal 2024, MTU has made their way to my every day play lists. We get into some how the band came together, how they met Billy Strings and Jarod Walker, recap a few performances from 2024 and their upcoming dates in 2025. You'll even find a pretty cool golden Easter Egg buried in this episode.

Nate Riggs hosts Music Festivals Podcast, a weekly conversation for anyone who feels most at home in a field with a lineup and a schedule. This isn't just about dates and headliners, though. Instead, each episode feels like a backstage pass, built on genuine conversations with the people who make these events happen-from organizers and artists to the dedicated crews. You'll hear stories that never make it to the official recap videos and get practical advice that turns a good trip into an unforgettable one. The aim is to give you a richer understanding of the culture and logistics behind the scenes, whether you're a seasoned veteran mapping out your summer or someone curious about attending your first event. By focusing on these insider interviews and deep dives, the podcast helps you discover hidden gems and approach your next festival with a new perspective. Tune in for a regular dose of that community feeling and the detailed planning talk that fuels the journey between festivals.
