Fresh from a run of festival appearances and the release of their new album Glee and Glutton, Edinburgh-based five-piece Sociograss bring their high-energy blend of bluegrass, old-time, early country and American roots music to OBI. Known for their foot-stomping rhythms, soaring vocal harmonies and virtuoso musicianship, they’ve become one of the most exciting acts on Scotland’s thriving roots scene.  

Drawing inspiration from the music of Appalachia while adding plenty of their own character, Sociograss deliver the spirit of a traditional barn dance with the energy of a packed late-night session. Their live shows are lively, joyful and built around the kind of musicianship that keeps heads turning and feet moving.  

Whether you’re a lifelong bluegrass fan or simply enjoy great live music played with conviction, this promises to be a cracking night in the Shelter.

Expect fast picking, rich harmonies, stories from both sides of the Atlantic and a band that clearly loves every minute of what they do.
