Blind Corn Liquor Pickers Natasha's, 112 Esplanade, 10 p.m., $8. From the venue website:”Fill your jug up with homebrew. Take it round back of the barn. Pass it around until one of you slip off or disappear. If you can't figure out who it is that got up and left, then you know you have the good stuff. These are the principles by which the Blind Corn Liquor Pickers pick corn liquor. As for music, they have no principles at all. It's just whatever feels right. Bluegrass, of course, takes the biggest hit, but folk, swing, progressive rock, funk, and jazz all have their genre boundaries violated. The result is bluegrass that rocks, grooves, surprises, offends, and rebels against the rules that bind it. .. .. The songs are tough, taut and fraught with some simply amazing words, subject matters and imagery. And the band plays with some real fire and gusto. Now this is the way edgy bluegrass should sound!”
