SATURDAY 15 |TJ Brown first fell for bluegrass in North Carolina, where he learned to play the guitar. Tonight, after a too-long hiatus, Grass Snake Union reforms as this much-loved lead guitarist and vocalist makes a return from his native US. As well as standards such as the music of Bill Monroe, the band interprets tunes by Lady Gaga, MGMT and The Pixies. “It runs the gamut: we’re playing songs written 90 years ago and songs written one year ago,” says TJ. Expect new covers, original tunes and songs from obscure Americana acts such as The Devil Makes 3, Gillian Welch and Zack Langton (TJ’s brother-in-law).
