Get ready to experience bluegrass like never before on August 17th and 18th as the Big Mouth Bluegrass Festival makes its much-awaited return to The Caverns. For those within striking distance of Nashville, prepare for a short road trip leading to a spectacle set within an iconic underground concert hall.

Immersive Bluegrass Experience

The festival not only features a stellar lineup of award-winning bluegrass artists but also offers an all-encompassing cultural experience. Enthusiasts can look forward to two days packed with activities including open jam sessions, artist-led instructional workshops, a marketplace for craft vendors, a variety of food options, exploration of cave tours, and luxurious yurt glamping among other attractions.

Star-Studded Lineup

The event will showcase top bluegrass talent such as John McEuen & The Circle Band, Blue Highway, The Po’ Ramblin’ Boys, and Michael Cleveland & Flamekeeper. Joining them are Danny Paisley & The Southern Grass, Junior Sisk, Darin & Brooke Aldridge, and many more. The festival's emcee, Blake Williams, will once again lead the festivities, ensuring a smooth flow of performances and events.

"The cave’s natural acoustics cater to all music genres, but the resonant sounds of fiddles and banjos underground offer an unmatched experience," notes Joe Lurgio, General Manager of The Caverns.
