No, not illicit music played in some questionable bar, but rather bluegrass music played 333 feet below the surface at Cumberland Caverns near McMinnville, Tennessee. These caverns have hosted a series of concerts named "Bluegrass Underground" since 2008. Many of the top bluegrass performers have appeared in this venue. We finally were able to attend a performance on July 9, 2016. For this performance, two groups played, The Molly Tuttle Band and The Boxcars.

This is a real limestone cave with stalactites, stalagmites and even a waterfall.
But how many caverns have a large crystal chandelier?

They even have a "merchandise" table.
