Bluegrass gospel band Monroe Crossing is coming to Benson! Thursday, March 21 at 7pm they will be playing at the Junior High Auditorium. Tickets are available at Benson churches, Breen's Thrifty White Drug and Clarks' Rexall Drug. Cost for tickets is $25 for families, $8 for adults ($10 at the door), and $5 for children under 12.
Named in honor of Bill Monroe, Monroe Crossing dazzles audiences with an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, and heartfelt originals. Their airtight harmonies, razor sharp arrangements, and on-stage rapport make them audience favorites across the United States and Canada.
Since the year 2000, Monroe Crossing has released 11 CDs and a live concert DVD and has made over 1250 concert appearances throughout the United States, Canada and Europe. The secret to the band’s longevity and success? According to fiddler and lead singer Lisa Fuglie, “It’s just plain hard work and dedication. We all share a love for bluegrass music and for performing on stage. We appreciate every audience, large or small, and understand that we’re there for them, not the other way around.”
In 2007, they were selected as an Official Showcase Band at the International Bluegrass Music Association’s World of Bluegrass Convention in Nashville, and later that year, they were inducted into the Minnesota Music Hall of Fame.
