Long Band Description
he Lake Monsters are friends from many bluegrass and other acoustic music bands in the area that got together for a house gig at Lake Monster Brewery in the summer of 2023. At the end of the summer we were having so much fun we decided to keep it going. The idea is simple, straight ahead classic bluegrass played at a high level.
