Anyone else a bluegrass fan? Winfield is about to start, wish I could go.

i'm sure i'm considered a bluegrass sticker fan, but whatever steve martin & the steep canyon rangers do i seem to like. like the sound of bluegrass in general but the aimless, non-melodic stuff just sounds to me like "!!!!!!..!!!!!!!..!!!!!!!!"

I enjoy the old stuff as well, but most of my experiences have been with the newer high energy "mudstomp" stuff, which I like a lot.

I would like to go to Bluegrass fest someday.

Larry and His Flask is a good bluegrass band:

I'm not there yet, but have full passes, and have friends already camping. I feel bad for them today though.

I went to this last weekend - it was kind of fun in a michigany hippie kind of way:

I mean there were apple trees in our campground for goodness sake.

Winfield native here

Only been to it once though.

It's ok, and the dudes who play it are talented, but it all sounds the same and I get tired of it after 20 minutes

Really like Sarah Jarosz.

Set my mind to go every year and then something gets in the damn way. Check out Big Smith Band, the good folk here are captured in the song Trash easily found on YT. Their earlier stuff is the better IMHO but think they may have a new CD I've not taken in yet.

This was very strange. Electric bass and a lead singer, weird.

Enjoyed this. Also, cool band name. Although most bluegrass band names are pretty neat.

Split Lip Rayfield
Whistle Pigs
Cletus Got Shot
Honkeysuckle
Carrie Nation and the Speakeasys
Mountain Sprout
Deadman Flats

All neat names.

Does Old Crow Medicine Show count as bluegrass?

Yes, confirmed.

Especially this one -

Excellent choices above. Split Lip and Mountain Sprout are great. Another group I've been into lately is Trampled by Turtles. They put an interesting take on the genre, and do so tastefully. The Wilders are also fun to listen to, and truly have a good time while performing their music. For those who are into "jammy" music, Yonder Mountain String Band is fun to listen to. I'm seriously contemplating making a run to Winfield this year. Last minute-style!!!

I've seen the Wilders twice now (once at a free arts in the parts in Manhattan

) and really enjoyed their performances. Post a link to your fav Trampled by Turtles song and I will check them out.

I don't know who that is

HeinBallz · « **Reply #24 on:** September 14, 2011, 08:00:09 PM »

probably more hippy than blue-grass... but I like this version of "Oh Death" and there will probably never be a closer suited thread to sharing this:
