Description
Since forming in 2006, The High 48s have been making music that combines the soulful sound of classic bluegrass with a modern attitude, original songs, and a wide range of influences far beyond Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, and Flatt and Scruggs. The band takes their name from railroad slang for the boxcars originally used to transport troops on the front lines in WWI that could carry 40 soldiers or 8 horses. They were later used by train-hoppers looking for work during the Great Depression.
