Monroe CrossingBluegrass music lends itself to casual dress. When your plans just involve some pickin’ on the front porch, jeans and an old flannel shirt will suffice. But Twin Cities bluegrass group Monroe Crossing is known for its sharp, yesteryear-inspired stage outfits as well as its high-energy take on the high-lonesome sounds of its namesake, Bill Monroe.

Mark Johnson visits with Matt Thompson and Lisa Fuglie from Monroe Crossing as we listen to a live performance from the Kezar Music Showroom in Thief River Falls.
