I play a small festival every year doing folk and bluegrass... re-enactment. I'm into the newgrass stuff... sam bush, nickelcreek, and old stuff... flatt and scruggs.
Orsino .... the new grass is what has brought me into the scene. Just saw Jerry Douglas....blew my mind...... check out the new Alison Krauss it's really good

I love Bluegrass! Some of my favorite Bluegrass groups include Tony Rice Peter Rowman Jerry Garcia, Tony Rice and David Grisman Yonder Mountain String Band Old and In the Way ......theres many greats out there!
Great thread... I love bluegrass... The aforementioned YMSB, Sam Bush, Vassar Clements, Old and In the Way are really awesome... My favorite live band is Barefoot Manner... They are more of a "newgrass" sound than traditional bluegrass, per se, with elements of rock, funk, jazz and that old dixie sound too, but they are my favorite live band... Highly recommended... Check out some of their live music shows on http://www.archive.org
There's so many underground bluegrass bands out there... Father, Son, and Friends... it's a celtic/folk/bluegrass band... Changing Tymes... Tommy Lee Pressley...
Barefoot Manner........hhhmmmm dont know them. Check out High on the Hog!!!!!! very cool old time stuff. http://www.highonthehogband.com/radio.htm Also Any Nor cal Peeps Peter Rowan and Tony Rice are playing together at the Mystic in Petaluma that will be a killer show. peace
