Eight Gigs: Pine Street Ramblers

One does not simply toe-tap when the Pine Street Ramblers roll into town. This four-piece band from the foothills packs a variety of genres into a mostly bluegrass and Americana sound, which gives each performance its high-energy, foot-stompin', good-time feel. A past performance at Shine even inspired one audience member to grab a couple of spoons, smack them against his knee and start jamming. The fast-pickin' mandolin, banjo and acoustic guitar work, accompanied by upright bass, would turn any venue into an all-out jamboree. Catlin Jemma & the Goodness from Oregon will also perform. 1400 E Street, www.pinestreetramblers.com.
