Bluegrass is much more than simply a genre of music. In fact, for many people around the world it is a way of life, a living and ever-growing reflection of the musical traditions of the Appalachian Mountain region in which it was born.
The roots of Bluegrass music span several centuries and continents, dating all the way back to the early 1600’s when European settlers and immigrants from other points far and wide brought their own traditional forms of music with them to the new world.
Over the years those various types of music slowly merged into what we know today as Old-Time and Bluegrass Music – the sweet sounds of the Appalachians. Today, Bluegrass is more popular than ever, branching out to every part of the country, and indeed around the globe.
There are literally thousands of talented singers and musicians who love to perform this unique form of music. BluegrassBios.com is dedicated to bringing you their stories and helping preserve and promote their music – and hopefully keep the flame of traditional music burning strong for generations to come.
