The New Grown-Ups are an octet from the Boston area blending Traditional Folk, Country, Blues, Celtic, Old-Timey, Bluegrass, and Pop into a modern acoustic sound. They are described as “skilled musicians with electrical rollicking enthusiasm” by Bluegrass Today. Fans attending their concerts often describe the New Grownups as a fun, musically rich, and welcoming band that mixes traditional instrumentation with contemporary arrangements to generate a community-focused, crowd-pleasing atmosphere. The New Grownups have played regional New England venues such as Watertown’s Saltonstall Summer Concerts, Ossipee Music Festival, Sadie’s Saloon in Winchester, The Porch in Medford, and Notch Brewing in Brighton and recently won the Thomas Point Beach Festival Band Contest.  Their new album is now available on Bandcamp.
