The Monadnock Mountain Boys

About Me

An old time bluegrass band with a little modern flavor thrown in for good measure. Started more than three years ago at Franklin Pierce College (now Franklin Pierce University) in Rindge, NH when four friends started getting together for impromptu jam sessions at the now infamous Mountain View Apt. D6 (we miss the hell out of that crazy hippy flop house). Developing a love for old-time music while still holding to other influences including jazz, rock, and Irish folk, the Boys are now hoping to hop onto the scene.
