Town Mountain ready to rock the stage at the Charleston Pour House

By Robin Gibson

Town Mountain L-R: Jessie Lanlgais, Bobby Britt, Robert Greer, Zach Smith, Phil Barker

Asheville-based, self-described "Carolina Hard Drivin' String Band" Town Mountain brings their unique blend of homegrown, soulful, honky-tonk style bluegrass to fans at the Charleston Pour House tonight for a one-night engagement, Saturday, July 14th. Tickets can be purchased at the door but save time and money grabbing them here. The band counts among its many influences Grateful Dead’s Jerry Garcia and lyricist, Robert Hunter, to iconic, vintage country stars like Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, and Merle Haggard.

Guitarist and lead singer Robert Greer is joined by Jesse Langlais on banjo, Phil Barker on mandolin, Bobby Britt who plays the fiddle, and Zach Smith on bass. Not familiar? Don't miss another second of getting to know these talented musicians as they discuss the making of their fifth album released in 2016, Southern Crescent, below.
