Country & Americana guitarist songwriter & singer Steve Earle made a foray into #Bluegrass music recording this 1999 album with The Del McCoury Band. It was intended as tribute to Bill Monroe The album was nominated for a Grammy for best Bluegrass album. Emmylou Harris guests on 1 tune #CountrySky
David Holt - Pretty Polly #banjo #legends #bluegrass #oldtime
I can only assume that the lack of interaction with this clever post is because not enough people know the song. #Bluegrass

Few musicians have shaped American roots music as profoundly, or as quietly, as Doc Watson. With a gentle voice, remarkable... #bluegrass #oldtime #guitar

Post your photos from Blueberry Bluegrass Music Festival from this past August, too! Let's share our Blueberry Memories.
I did some personal reflective writing about my most recent experiences at Blueberry. fervorcouleefiction.wordpress.com/2025/08/08/b... Not sure if it makes sense, but it is what I feel.

Was disappointed that I heard only a single Hazel song at @blueberrymusicfest.bsky.social this past weekend; usually, there are a few.
