Next Great American BandIf your Friday evening plans will find you in front of a television screen, perhaps you will want to tune in to tonight’s edition of The Next Great American Band on Fox.

Casey Henry has been keeping us up-to-date as this American Idol spin-off competition rolls along, as two of the eight remaining contestants are bluegrass or grassy acts. If you want to see The Clark Brothers and Cliff Wagner and the Old #7 move on to next week, be sure to tune in and vote!

Tonight’s show airs at 8:00 p.m. (EST), and the bands will each perform an original song, and a Billy Joel cover.

Go bluegrass!
