The Bluegrass and Newgrass Playlist

I really like Steve'N'Seagulls! They are tight!

I keep going to look for music to post here and getting distracted listening. This is a small hometown band called "Abby Mae and the Homeschool Boys" that worked the Olympic Peninsula in Washington State a few years ago. Very sorry to see them disband I was...
They have some original material too, but not a lot online.

*edit: I just re watched these, and that scene in Come in My Kitchen where she nearly falls out of the chair still makes me goose bump.

Bluegrass Festival Guide

Also typed in "Bluegrass in MI" in Google. Found links to a local Facebook group.

Southeast Michigan Bluegrass Music Association

They have local jam sessions at coffee shops and such. Nice way to spend an evening listening to music. You may have something in your area.

Dehlia Low- Stumbled across these guys a few years ago, and bought two of their albums. Very good stuff. Here are the title tracks from those two.

 
Surprisingly slow thread.... I guess this forum probably isn't as hipster as your run of the mill downtown Portland coffee shop.

I originally saw a photograph of this artist, taken at a music festival. I found her image so striking, that I spent a couple of days tracking down her info and finally her music. Very interesting take on traditional southern African-American songwriting.

 
"I know many here love to hate on any type of Country music." No hate or vitriol over here. It's just not one of my favorite genres. Having said that, I am a fan of Edie Brickell's from her days with the New Bohemians. As I type this reply, I'm listening to:

Steve Martin and Edie Brickell - So Familiar

and their performance sounds simply lush on my setup. Between Steve's banjo and Edie's vocals, it makes for an acousticlly enjoyable and soothing experience. If this album is but a sample of what country/bluegrass offers, I can see why there are millions of fans and listeners.

Cello in Bluegrass? - listen to Crooked Still.

Disbanded now, but Aiofe O'Donovan goes her own way...
Does a gorgeous version of John Hiatt with Sara Jarosz and Sara Watkins:
 
Off of the new Dave Rawlings Machine album, Dave and Gillian Welch team up for some fantastic music making. I also really like this video. They apparently decided to take a three day road trip from Nashville to Los Angeles, and filmed the video along the way.

 
I somehow missed this thread the first time 'round, and am surprised nobody has mentioned Béla Fleck and Newgrass Revival or any of his other various bands and solo work.
 
Great thread you guys. It's nice to hear some of the songs I know from other artist's sung by other 's I'm not familiar with. My wife and I like to go to see bluegrass as much as we can and just returned from Strings and Sol back in Dec. which was a hoot. Out here near Portland Or. we also have the Northwest String Summit and Pickathon, which are both great smaller festivals we like to go to.
So I guess to name a few of my favs I would have to say Yonder, Greensky Bluegrass, Uncle Earl as well as Railroad Earth (which are kinda new grass) and Leftover Salmon just to name but a few. I look forward to being turned on to some new stuff here. Thanks Y'all.

I've always wanted to make NWstring Summit. There is a very small but fun show in June called Sacajawea Bluegrass Festival and Dutch Oven Rendezvous! that I am pretty excited to check out in Pasco, WA. Maybe I'll see you out there.


These guys have changed names at least three times since I first heard them. One of the best bands performing on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. If you can find their albums, highly recommended. Also known as Tongue and Groove, and Joy in Mudville. Here they are as Deadwood Revival:
 
Last weekend I was privileged to play bass for a set on stage with some old band-mates and this guy:


Ricky Burch (brother of Newgrass Revival's founding member, Curtis Burch)

"Ricky Burch plays mandolin and fiddle .... Born and raised in Brunswick, GA, he started playing music at the age of 11 years. He has played through out the south east and is a veteran of a number of national acts including, The Cross Family, Underground Atlanta, The Rosebud Band, Sonny James, The Southern Gentlemen, and Jerry Reed. Burch is now a resident of Glasgow, KY, and in 1997 he and his brother Curtis Burch (co founder of New Grass Revival) performed in the Dobro Fest in Czechoslovakia."
 
John Hartford in general and his album Aereo-Plain in particular.
From Wikipedia:
"John Hartford's groundbreaking bluegrass album released in 1971. The music on Aereo-Plain is a blend of traditional bluegrass musicianship, and the hippie spirit of the '70s. The album sold so poorly that Warner Bros. decided to devote no promotion at all to Hartford's next release Morning Bugle. Nevertheless, Aereo-Plain has been called the forerunner of the genre now known as "Newgrass".
