The New Rochelle Summer Sounds continue tomorrow night with Straight Drive- A bluegrass band with a heck of a lot of blues at the Hudson Park Bandshell tonight.
Straight
Drive was founded in 2001and gets their name from the type of music they play–straight bluegrass
with plenty of drive. The band has kept its identity firmly grounded in the grit and
intensity of the classic, first generation performers of bluegrass
music. As bluegrass great Ron Thomason has said, "Straight Drive plays
bluegrass the way Bill Monroe or Carter Stanley conceived of it." A fan
once described Straight Drive's sound as "bluegrass with no apologies."
