About Your Hosts
The Brown Mountain Lightning Bugs are a folk(ish) fusion of tradition and psychedelia—where Appalachian roots meet cosmic grooves.

Since forming in 2016, they’ve carried their music from front porches to festival stages across the U.S. and abroad, including a recent tour through the UK and Ireland. With their laid-back charm and genre-bending sound, the Bugs bring an unforgettable blend of heart, humor, and a touch of mountain magic to every performance.
