High-energy bluegrass from the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains, Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Seth Mulder & Midnight Run is traditional bluegrass music at its best. Hailing from the heart of the Smoky Mountains in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, the band delivers a high-energy show filled with nostalgic entertainment, tight harmonies, and skillful musicianship, all built around a curated set list of original material and lost covers.
“The harmonies are spot on, as you might expect with a quality bluegrass outfit. The playing is faultless, too, with some outstanding banjo, mandolin and fiddle solos throughout, nearly all of which are short and very sweet. In a crowded marketplace, this group should hit the spot, and you can be sure they are great live.”
