Billed as an after-party for the Sturgill Simpson show, this show is headlined by Hot Brown Smackdown, a 6-piece electric jamgrass fusion ensemble hailing from Louisville who combines brightly textured, hard-driving bluegrass polyphony with high-energy groove and soul, usually throwing an ever-changing catalogue of fun and interesting cover songs into their original sets. Centering on the “blood harmonies” of brothers Wesley and Aaron Smith, Brother Smith’s sound is constantly evolving, expanding genres that include rock, funk, gospel, folk, blues, bluegrass, jazz and country.
