On Friday, April 29th at 7:30 pm, the Concord Conservatory of Music (CCM) presents Mile Twelve, a thought-provoking and energetic string band from Boston. Although their sound is rooted in traditional bluegrass, Mile Twelve surveys a broader landscape on their newest album, City on a Hill.  Experience Mile Twelve live and you’ll see why they won the 2020 IBMA New Artist of the Year Award.

All five band members bring their own influences and interpretations into the music, resulting in a project that feels contemporary, thoughtfully crafted, and relevant. The lineup features Catherine “BB” Bowness (banjo), Korey Brodsky (mandolin and guitar), Ella Jordan (fiddle), Evan Murphy (guitar, lead vocals), and Nate Sabat (bass, lead vocals). With innovative arrangements and expert execution, Mile Twelve captivates its audience with their music.  They are recognized for their originality, talent, and commitment to address societal concerns—they use lyrics to bring relevant stories to the forefront.

The Mile Twelve concert is part of the 2021-2022 CCM American Roots Series. Generous donors and support from the Concord Cultural Council have made it possible to bring the concert series to our community. $25 tickets for adults and free for students 18 and under. Purchase tickets in advance online at ConcordConservatory.org or at the door. For information, call 978-369-0010 or email info@ConcordConservatory.org.
