The New Grown-Ups: “Cumberland Gap”



Our son Ben Leddy is a member of The New Grown-Ups, who just took first in a new-band showcase at the Thomas Point Beach Bluegrass Festival in Brunswick, Maine. That’s a sample above.

Notice the New Grown-Ups logo, top left. Ben is a clever guy. He’s on mandolin. All said and done.

  4. I have a friend that is a huge bluegrass fan. I sent a link to the video to him. His response: "Love them. I was in 4th row at the festival." We're making plans to go to an upcoming show.

  7. From acoustic music generally and jamming with capable people. Guitar, then banjo, then mandolin.
