BLACK MOUNTAIN SYMPHONY AND SERENE GREEN AT THE RANSOM STEELE

One of the most eclectic bands in modern folk-rock, Black Mountain Symphony is a six-piece ensemble that dares you to try and pigeonhole their sound. At times reminiscent of Fleetwood Mac, and then taking a turn to sound like early Yes, they have finished off sets singing old Irish ballads as well. With influences from Motown to Belle & Sebastian, this group of young musicians will be sure to bring down the roof April 9th at the Ransom Steele. Opening up the night is Serene Green, a young bluegrass group from the Lehigh Valley. They’ve been gaining traction in the Eastern bluegrass community, playing original songs, bluegrass standards, and other favorites with a bluegrass twist. With three-part harmonies and technical instrumentation, it’s a show you won’t want to miss. The Ransom Steele Tavern is located at 552 Main St. in Apalachin. The show starts at 8pm, and tickets are $7 the day of the show. More information at ransomsteeletavern.com.
