Paul Kramer & the Bloggrass Boys and the Shelby Bottom String Band will play at "TAP Your Foot", a non-smoking musical benefit for Tennessee Alliance for Progress on Tuesday, March 10, 7 to 9 pm at the 5 Spot.

The Bloggrass Boys is a project of multi-talented Paul Kramer (singer/songwriter, fiddler, mandolinist and guitarist). The Bloggrass Boys issued a critically acclaimed CD last year of “bluegrass for a blue state” that contains such gems as “Democrat is Not a Dirty Word Anymore” and “Sling That Mud.” All of the songs were written, co-written and sung by Kramer. A rarity in the world of bluegrass, the Bloggrass Boys combines entertaining political commentary with top-notch musicianship.

Shelby Bottom String Band plays old-timey music for new times, including old songs from the Depression that are suddenly relevant again, originals, and quirky songs from the deep catalogs of various Americana writers. Band members are Nell Levin, fiddle and vocals; Michael August, guitar and vocals; Holly Tashian, bass and vocals; Bob Mason, mandolin and vocals; Gene Bush, dobro and vocals; and Dave Thomas, drums and percussion.
