DanGem Bluegrass is inspired by the music itself.
Very few of us no matter what our music tastes maybe can resist the tempo and beat we call Bluegrass
When a Banjo,Fiddle,Mandolin, Bass & Guitar strike up you try and keep those toes from tapping.
History of Bluegrass :-
Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music. It has its own roots in Irish, Scottish and English traditional music. Bluegrass was inspired by the music of immigrants from the British Isles (particularly the Scots-Irish immigrants in Appalachia), as well as Jazz and Blues. In Bluegrass, as in Jazz, each instrument takes a turn playing the melody and improvising around it, while the others revert to backing; this is in contrast to old-time music, in which all instruments play the melody together or one instrument carries the lead throughout while the others provide accompaniment. Bluegrass is distinctively acoustic instrumentation not using electrical instruments of any kind except for the electric bass guitar.
More recent developments
Country music superstars Dolly Parton and Patty Loveless have both released several Bluegrass albums. Along with the Coen Brothers' movie, O Brother Where Art Thou? and the subsequent Down from the Mountain music tour and documentary, this has brought Bluegrass music to a much wider audience .Since the late 1990s, several mainstream country musicians have recorded Bluegrass albums. Ricky Skaggs, who began as a Bluegrass musician and crossed over to mainstream Country in the 1980s, returned to Bluegrass with his band Kentucky Thunder. Meanwhile, bands such as the Yonder Mountain String Band in the United States, and Druha Trava in the Czech Republic have attracted large audiences while pushing at the edges of progressive Bluegrassin.
