If you want New Grass rather than traditional Bluegrass start with:

Alison Kraus and Union Station
Nickel Creek
Chris Thile (new album is great) with and w/o Nickel Creek
Sam Bush (kinda the founder of New Grass)
Alison Brown (great banjo player)
Tony Rice
Dave Grisman
The Kentucky Colonels
Del McCoury Band - traditional but not old guys
Brian Sutton
...and so many more...

For traditional Bluegrass: there are hundreds maybe thousands of great players and bands - start here...
Bill Monroe - the father of Bluegrass
Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt
The Stanley Brothers
Ralph Stanley - senior
