Bluegrass Underground was a musical television show taped live at The Caverns in the base of Monteagle Mountain. From 2008 to 2018, it was held in Cumberland Caverns. [2] In 2011, it became a nationally syndicated television show airing on PBS. [1] The program also aired weekly on the AM radio station WSM. [3] On September 10, 2022, at the beginning of what would have been its eleventh season, Bluegrass Underground was rebranded as The Caverns Sessions to acknowledge the broader range of music featured in the program.
