By day the Cheekwood invites travelers to discover the beauty, arts and history of this country era estate. Evenings at Cheekwood come alive with soulful performances during the Bluegrass Under The Stars in September.
Molly Tuttle & Golden Highway headline the second installment of Bluegrass Under the Stars. A recent Grammy-winning songwriter, vocalist and musician of formidable skill, Molly Tuttle is a multi-instrumentalist whose especially potent guitar playing made her the first woman to ever win Guitarist of the Year from the International Bluegrass Music Association. Instead of relying solely on her sheer virtuosity, Tuttle incorporates heart and masterful storytelling to create some of roots music’s most compelling contemporary songs.
Arrive early to catch a special opening performance by AJ Lee & Blue Summit. Drawing from influences such as country, soul, swing, rock, and jam music AJLBS uses the lens of bluegrass as a vessel through which to express and explore the thread that binds and unifies all great music.
