Since bluegrass has been one of the fastest selling niche genres the past 8 or 10 years (outselling Jazz and even Blues), there are so many new “Modern Style” bluegrass bands out right now. Some of them are peaty incredible.
Here is a small list of some of the bands I know (these are the ones that I’ve done sound for this year), and links to their websites.
Cherryholmes
Cadillac Sky
The Infamous Stringdusters
Grasstowne
Randy Kohrs Band
The Grascals
The Gibson Brothers
Blue highway
Chris Stuart and Backcountry
IIIrd Time Out
Mountain Heart
Lonesome River Band
Alecia Negent
The Chapmans
and the hot band to catch this year is
The Dan Tyminski Band. He’s the guitar player/singer with “Alison Krauss and Union Station” (was also in Lonesome River Band before that), but Union Station are taking the year off. So Dan has put together a Buegrass Super Band and is on tour this year. I get to work with them this coming fathers day weekend. I can’t wait!
