The Hillbenders, Tommy: A Bluegrass Opry

Friday, May 5, 2017 - 7:00 pm

This is not your grandaddy's bluegrass! 

Forty-five years after its original release, this classic of classic rock has now been fully realized as a full-length bluegrass tribute featuring Springfield, Missouri’s The HillBenders.  Conceived and produced by SXSW co-founder and longtime musician/producer Louis Jay Meyers, this Bluegrass Opry brings a new perspective to Tommy while paying total respect to its creators. In this live 75-minute show, The HillBenders cover The Who’s original album from start to finish with special video accompaniment and audience participation.
