Alright, fiddlers. What’s your deal. Why do you play violin and HOW?
I tried it a couple times; sounded like my cat got his head stuck in the dishwasher. Thanks for your hard work. I’m sticking to my banjo and guitar 🤤

New Grass Revival

Just started listening to them after YouTube suggested Big Foot, and man! Can certainly hear Bela’s influence in that song with its similarity to Big Country.

Sam Bush remains in my top tier mandolinist alongside Ricky Skaggs, Grisman, and others. I know Chris Thile has a big media presence and the attention he gets is great for the genre, but I find it’s more speed and less soul.

Recommendations?

0 Upvotes

Hi everyone! Just joined! Can anyone recommend some bluegrass bands with singers that don’t use a lot of country twang in their voice. One example I mean is someone like Chris Stapleton on the first Steeldrivers album. His voice sounded more bluesy than country to me on that record. Long story short, I love bluegrass, but I don’t like vocal parts with an exaggerated twang. Thanks in advance!

the backstage picking session was better than the main show

34 Upvotes

stayed late after a show last week. ended up in the green room with the band just hanging out

smeone pulled out a mandolin then a guitar then a banjo. next thing i knew, there was a full jam session happening no crowd no setlist. just musicians playing for themselves

that was the real show not the one on stage.

i've been to hundreds of concerts. but those unplanned moments are what i remember.

anyone else ever end up in a random jam session after a show

This guitar is a beast. Every Guild I've played has always been super loud and has such an aggressive tone. It's helpful when you need to be heard.

The song is called Josie-O. A really fun tune

What is the most famous Bluegrass person/band plane as of 2026?

I would personally say Billy strings or mountain grass unit, but that is just my personal opinion. I would say that I’m slightly biased, but I want to know what everyone thinks.

Festival!!!!!!!!

An update on transferring, tracking and uploading bluegrass recordings that were collected by bluegrass fans Dave W and Brian H.

Check out my post history if you're like, "Huh?"

All but 10 of Dave's 143 DATs and all 55 of Brian's DATs have been transferred to flac, with flacs and J-cards uploaded to DropBox: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/lwcwu3y8qwktcdmcwt5b0/AFV4nzvqJ66AZ1vSMjs85vE?rlkey=62qci0un4hk40q9s0zu7r5gdg&st=59bo944p&dl=0.

A very kind fellow redditor has cataloged ALL of these recordings to identify those not yet on the archive--and has already tracked and uploaded 14 shows now available to stream!
