I've played the banjo on and off for a couple of years, and while i love the music, i can't listen to the "hardcore bluegrass" while high. just something about the twang i suppose haha

you should check out banjerdan and jb beverley and the wayward drifters

jimmy martin is my all time favorite though

Both of the public stations play bluegrass ALL DAY on the weekends. I used to like it but after hearing so much of it on the weekends, it started getting a little played out.

hayseed dixie... best bluegrass band ever

I get this close to bluegrass in my CD player:

Yonder Mountain String Band
Old Crow Medicine Show
Bela Fleck

Live Bluegrass is always a fun time.

I think I would be remiss if I didn't first pay homage to the two guys who really started my love for Bluegrass music.
Scruggs is fine tuning that Banjo the whole time he's playing it.... Why stop?...just do it on the fly!!

check out: Doyle Lawson and Quicksilver

solid tunes

Yep Yonder Mtn. is dope. Anyone listen to Hot Buttered Rum? I just got their new album Limbs Akimbo and it is some dank ass shit.

I listen to a fair amount of bluegrass and love it even more live. Not an all day listener, but i listen to music basically 24-7 and bluegrass is a great way to relax on the porch with a good drink and a joint.

I've always loved the different instruments used and the sound they produce. I love violins and mandolins.

Can't be talking about bluegrass unless you mention Split Lip Rayfield....One of the best live bands I have ever had the pleasure to see. They are a hard rockin-high energy band out of Lawrence Kansas.

I'm not a big fan of the whining gospel slow bluegrass but, I love the faster heavy picking style ie. Foggy mountain breakdown et al. Doc Watson, Earl Scruggs, Jimmy Martin to name a few. Old Crow Medicine Show and Yonder MSB fantastic as well. I'm from the mountains in the southeast so its in my blood though I have no musical talent or taste (my other favorite genre is hardcore punk-Crack Rock Steady!)
