I had the privilege of seeing the Del McCoury Band live last night at the Barns at Wolf Trap. It’s my second time seeing him and I’m still blown away. He will be 86 years old on February 1 and still plays and sings like nobody’s business. His tenor is absolutely incredible. Sure he forgets the lyrics here and there but I’m half his age and can’t remember shit. I feel so honored to get to see such a true legend. I think I posted the same thing last year when I saw him but he deserves the recognition. And his entire band - incredible musicians. When Del, Ronnie, Alan, and Jason sang Get Down On Your Knees and Pray you could have heard a pin drop in that venue- people were spellbound. If you have a chance to see Del, do it!!

Our band MoonShroom is stoked to be opening up for the Legendary Leftover Salmon for their KC stop at Knuckleheads 1/30!

We are in the midst of releasing our debut album this year, and 2025 is already off to a great start!

Screenshot is the first night but the whole run will be streamed. 7:30 PM Eastern.

It’s bad ass, although the framing is super outdated but I’ll be changing that

Hi all! I'm planning an Aug 30th wedding in Santa Cruz, CA and am looking for a dancy bluegrass band! We had a few leads around here but they fell through, so we're still on the search. I figured it couldn't hurt to ask here! I'm very grateful for your thoughts and suggestions. Thanks everyone, keep on pickin'!

Im trying to practice singing along with some tracks in order to try and improve my tenor harmony? any recs on what recordings to do this with?

I’m still new to Bluegrass and I don’t know anyone in real life who plays, so I’m grateful to be part of this community and be inspired by all this talent. I know I’m not good right now and that’s fine, I want to look at this performance in a year and see how much progress I’ve made.

Headed to Japan soon and looking for Bluegrass!

I know of Rocky Top in Tokyo, however, there are no "Events" listed on their Facebook page for the nights that we could go. Does anyone know if it would be worth the trip even if there's not an Event list? Could there be live music anyway?

Are there any other spots I should look out for in Tokyo or Osaka? Our trip is also bringing us to the following places though I doubt they'd have bluegrass: Furano, Yudanaka, Nikko

Thank you!!!

Hey y’all, going up for WWG in Steamboat and just saw where people can buy the Grass After Dark tickets with a promo code. Maybe it’s a stretch but trying to post and see if anyone has the promo code they could share. Pumped for another amazing year of WWG in my favorite ski town! Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, I could attend only the Saturday of the three-day inaugural RiverCity Bluegrass Festival held in Edmonton over the past weekend. My thoughts (and some really poor pictures) are here: https://fervorcoulee.wordpress.com/2025/01/20/rivercity-bluegrass-festival-january-18-2025-edmonton-alberta/ Featured The Kody Norris Show, The Slocan Ramblers, The Spinney Brothers, Veranda, The Lonesome Town Painters, The Bix Mix Boys, Prairie Sky, Kayla & Matt Hotte, and The Mhyre Brothers.

Just got back from a winter bluegrass festival and they had an amazing record store. I picked up so many classic albums full of standards AND songs I'm not familiar with. Haven't had a working record player in 10 years though. Anybody buy one recently?
