Lincoln Highway’s show consists of different types of music all related to the bluegrass instruments that they play including bluegrass, Celtic, country, swing, acoustic covers of pop, and old-time fiddle. #TEDxBYU

If you blend 5 musicians, 11 individual instrumental championships, 15+ instruments, and a couple of screws loose, you get Lincoln Highway. The group has been playing together for 10+ years, but 3 of the members have been playing together for 20+ years!! #TEDxBYU
