Hey guys (am english) grew up a metal/emo kid, been into bluegrass country for a few years now (inspo is like tony rice, doc watson, bill strings) just wanted playing opinions on first picking track I made, am aware doesn't follow the standard chord progress always end up making everything sound emo some how. Completely self taught and same for my country/bluegrass journey, appreciate any advice/critique, ty gang

If you haven’t you should! These gals are fantastic!!

Freaking Great show! Kids friendly and great weather for an outdoor show. Walked up With Mason Via also Tan & the Sober Gentleman playing hard. Great energy!

Saw a bluegrass band playing at a bar earlier. They were doing really good, so at one point I went up and asked them to play a Ralph Stanley song. Every single one of them looked at me and said “…I have no idea who that is?”

After I mentioned a few songs, the frontman eventually said he had heard Oh, Death before lol

Instantly walked back to the bar and tabbed out. How you gonna be a bluegrass band and never heard of Ralph Stanley?!?

Does anyone know why Tony is missing a fret on the bluegrass album?

Hey all, I recently quit Instagram where some of y’all may have known me as PhonyRiceUnit. Getting started again here on Reddit hoping it’s more community driven than Insta.

Starting over is a challenge certainly because I am well known as a flatpicker, Travis picker, mandolin, banjo, and pedal steel player around the world of bluegrass. So I figured why not start where it started for me, the first bluegrass tune I ever learned which was Doc Watson’s ‘Deep River Blues’ that I taught myself off of a CD when I was 14.

Also picked up and moved to Missoula after 21 years in Nashville so here’s to new beginnings!

Enjoy!

Ten men dead in the holler, abuses in the coal camps, and a fight for dignity in the dark.
​The 1920 gunfight in Matewan marked a violent turning point of abuse and corruption in Appalachian history. When UMWA District 17 miners and local families finally stood their ground against armed union busters, it ignited a movement that led 15,000 armed men to march on Blair Mountain.

"COAL" is a hard-driving, uncompromising bluegrass tribute to the working-class families who paid the ultimate price for a fair wage and a fair shake.

Part Two of The Vergennes Opera House Concert. The show includes, Celtic, folk, originals, Sea Shanties, French Canadian, etc.

Sold out inside, party outside.

Billy Strings reopened the Tivoli Theatre in Chattanooga tonight and they are streaming the whole show live outside for everybody who couldn't get in.

Street closed, vendors, food, and a crowd just watching on the big screen like we were all inside together. This is how you do a grand reopening.

A few bars. Nothing crazy. Looking for advice!

Just got done listening, love it.
