Formed in Minneapolis, MN in 2006, The High 48s were thrust onto the national scene in 2008 after winning the prestigious RockyGrass Bluegrass Band Competition in Lyons, CO. With members who honed their craft touring with acts such as Special Consensus and the James King Band, the group combines a healthy respect for tradition with a desire to create original music, true to their upper-Midwestern roots.
