​ Miles Over Mountains is a progressive bluegrass band from McHenry, IL. Touring through their fifth year, Miles Over Mountains continues to turn heads across the nation as their momentum, fanbase and schedule continue to grow. Since their inception in early 2014, they've performed hundreds of shows at bars, clubs, and music festivals with no signs or plans of slowing down. Collectively, with decades of stage experience under their belts, the band strives to provide the audience with a fun and freeing experience that can be felt both on and off stage. Miles Over Mountains plays a modernized style of bluegrass or "newgrass/jamgrass" that covers a wide spectrum of dynamics and feeling. Their live catalogue draws from their first two records "Five Star Heart Breaker" (2015), "Ballads & Burners" (2017), and their upcoming third full length album "Work Harder Not Smarter" (2020). In addition their cover selections are testaments to where bluegrass/roots influence can take songs from outside the genre, with lovingly selected takes on their hero's songs served up in their own fashion. The band has been performing, touring, and making records since early 2014 playing an average of 120 shows per year. The band looks with excitement and hungry ambition towards 2020 when they'll be releasing and touring in support of their third full length album.
