Gone Tomorrow has played bluegrass music all over Southern California since 2001, including as the opening act for David Parmley & Continental Divide and Danny Paisley and the Southern Grass. We've even played a gig accompanying a modern dance performance with the San Diego Dance Theatre at the San Diego Museum of Art. Gone Tomorrow has played at, the Mammoth Bluegrass Festival, the San Diego Roots Festival and three times at Summergrass, San Diego's premier bluegrass festival held each year in August.
