The Who Bluegrass Opry UK Dates Announced

04/12/2016
. (Classic Rock) Bluegrass band The Hillbenders will bring their acclaimed version of The Who's rock opera Tommy to the UK in July. They'll deliver five performances of Tommy: A Bluegrass Opry, after having met mastermind Pete Townshend in Nashville last year.

The 75-minute show reproduces the 45-year-old original album in full, featuring what's described as "a perfect mix of virtuoso musicianship and rock star vocals."

Hillbenders' mandolinist Nolan Lawrence says: "We wanted to pair bluegrass with the other music we grew up with - rock'n'roll." See the dates and check out a song here.
