If you haven't been to World of Beer and you like beer, you are in for a real treat. Excellent selection of brews and a good little music scene is developing for this venue featuring solo, duo and up-and-coming groups. Saturday night is certainly no exception with Greenville-based Those Meddling Kids, a jam band that has a decidedly bluegrass bend to it. It's a bit of a niche and their musical talent is more than enough to pull it off. This is an interesting and solid bluegrass sound that is all upside. Catch them now - or wait a while and you will be seeing them on much larger stages shortly. (Photo courtesy of Reverb)
