bluegrass

An American art form from the Appalachian Mountains. Lightning fast tempos make it technically difficult to play yet it is easy to listen to. Similar to jazz, improvisation is a key component. Bluegrass has so much rhythm there's no need for drums. Vocal harmonies are clearly defined like family music.

A country drawl in your voice will make you a better bluegrass singer....Festivus, God of Festivals, comes down from the mountain to hear his favorite musicians and see his loyal followers at bluegrass festivals.....Bluegrass does not need the help of corporate music companies for success.
