Mile Twelve in Bloomington, In

Although their sound is rooted in traditional bluegrass, Mile Twelve surveys a broader landscape on their newest album, City on a Hill. All five band members bring their own influences and observations into the music, resulting in a project that feels contemporary, thoughtfully crafted, and relevant.

"Original bluegrass music, written and played by young people, is very much alive," says band member Evan Murphy. "I hope people take away that songwriting and arranging really matter. It's about the material and playing it in a way that feels honest. This album isn't political in the sense that we're beating people over the head with anything, we just tried to tell stories that feel authentic."

The Mile Twelve lineup offers five of the most promising young musicians in bluegrass: Korey Brodsky (mandolin), Catherine "BB" Bowness (banjo), Ella Jordan (fiddle), Evan Murphy (guitar), and Nate Sabat (bass). All are credited as songwriters because everyone in the band helped shape the material throughout the writing and arranging process. Murphy and Sabat initiated most of the lyrical ideas for City on a Hill. "We all inspire each other and recognize that everyone has different strengths," Murphy says. "What makes this band so collaborative is that everyone in the band can do something at a really high level. That's the balance. We're all challenging each other."

Doors open at 7pm for this reserved seating event. The estimated length of the show is 100 minutes. Wearing a mask is required indoors in Monroe County. Vaccine verification or negative covid test results within 48 hours required to enter the venue.
