I listen to some Yonder Mountain String Band and Left Over Salmon occasionally.... so not technically bluegrass but newgrass I suppose.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
Yeah, not exactly bluegrass. I’d say yes to “new grass”. My favorite bluegrass band is Blue Highway. Incredible musicians, writers, arrangers, and vocalists. Really nice people too. I also really liked The Boxcars when they were still together. Blue Moon Rising is another awesome neo-traditional bluegrass group. Their newest album is one of their best yet.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
I like KY bluegrass for a lawn. Bluegrass music is an acquired taste which I haven’t acquired a taste for.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
Scruggs and Flatt, Doc Watson, Bela Fleck and Alison Krauss come to mind as being in my collection. Do the Soggy Bottom Boys count?

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
my question was rhetorical, but some think they were a fake band. O' Brother Where Art Thou spawned a Bluegrass revival in '00 when the film debuted. I even caught my brother playing the soundtrack for a while and he don't know sh!t about music or BG, for that matter.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
You might just be shocked at how bluegrass has evolved. If you go to bluegrass festivals (indoor or outdoor) you might be very pleasantly surprised at what you hear. The level of musicianship in bluegrass music has skyrocketed in recent years.
Yes, traditional bluegrass is still very popular. But I particularly like "neo-traditional" bluegrass.....traditional bluegrass with a modern bent to it. Examples might include Blue Highway, Volume Five, Lonesome River Band, The Grascals, Special Consensus, Kenny and Amanda Smith, Claire Lynch, Becky Buller, The Boxcars, The Bluegrass Album Band, J. D. Crowe And The New South, just to name a few. Then there's "progressive bluegrass" featuring groups like The Infamous String Dusters, Nickel Creek, Cadillac Sky, The Kruger Brothers, Bela Fleck, The Sam Bush Band, The Traveling McCourys, Billy Strings, and Mountain Heart, Seldom Scene among many others. Like other genres of music bluegrass has expanded it boundaries significantly over the last two to three decades. If you haven't heard any bluegrass music lately you might be surprised, in a very good way, at what you hear. Check out Bluegrass Junction on Sirius/XM radio for a sample. Then you can stream your choices on Qobuz, Tidal, etc.Amplifier: Pass Labs INT 250 integrated.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
About as close as I get is Alison Krause and Union Station and Old Crow Medicine Show. Have seen both at least a couple of times live and they put on a show. I do have Doc Watson's "Southbound" tagged in Tidal/Roon and play that one every so often.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
I like some Bluegrass but own very little due to not knowing wht I like. I need to do some exploring.
I too have a couple Alison Kraus, I have a Bluegrass Cardinals comp I really like, I have the 3 Pickers, Skaggs, Watson and I think Scruggs. I have the Oh Brother soundtrack. I have some Flecktones but I don't consider that BG. I'll have to see if Tidal has some of the suggestions thrown out.
I play Blues harmonica and jammed with some Bluegrass players one night and had a ball, so I guess I play both Blues and BG, LOL
Oh, I have a Hayseed Dixie album, you have to check them out if you haven't heard of them. I won't say more as to not take away from the fun,Aurender ACS10 w/Audioquest Diamond USB, Esoteric N05xd

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
LOL!! Is 25+ years of playing in rock bands enough? I haven't played in a rock band since the '80s though. It was jump blues and swing jazz up to the early 2000s before I went all bluegrass in 2009. Been a bluegrass guitar flat picker the last 10 years. I also play mandolin and Scruggs style banjo.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
I listened to some Nickel Creek and liked songs like Lighthouse and Smoothy Song, any album best? I'll finish Reasons, the best of at a later time. Sorry, Blue Highway didn't do much for me at first listen.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
If you like the instruments of Bluegrass but not quite as much native bluegrass try Druha Trava. They are a Czech Republic band. The name means "second grass". Robert Krestan is the leader of the band.
Go to YouTube and search Druha Trava Wild Horses. The do a great version of the song.
Listening to them as a type.Synology 1019D+ - SGC Sonictransporter I9 w Roon/HQ Player- UltraRendu- PBD Stream IF to Playback Designs MPS5 via fiber optic - ARC 40th Anniversary Pre - ARC 610 T's - Martin Logan CLX's - 4 Martin Logan Depth i Subs - Shunyata Hydra, DIY PCOCC interconnects, speaker cables and power cords with Furutech terminations.

Re: Any bluegrass music fans out there?
I’m a big bluegrass fan. I can’t get enough of Billy Strings right now. I’ve seen them a dozen or so times over the last two years and they are getting better by the show. I’ll be seeing them twice at Winter Wondergrass Tahoe and twice in Boulder in the next two months. I am incredibly impressed at how good their live stuff sounds on Nugs.net...my new favorite streaming service.
