Nick shoulders, mountain sprout, old crow medicine show, Sierra Ferrell, bella white, brothers comatose, the devil makes 3 are a few good ones I listen to
Nobody can banjo like that gap-toothed retarded kid in Deliverance. After listening to him, nobody else sounds any good ... except maybe Roy Clark -- who, now that I think about it, sort of resembled the gap-tooted retarded kid.
That was either Earl Scruggs or Billy Redden who played that Deliverance banjo, can’t remember which.
The actor was a jew though
I've been listening to the lonesome river band for a bit, they're pretty good.
I'll check them out!
Loves me some John Hartford.
I got some blue grass.
Check out Scythian. One of my absolute favorites.
Bela Fleck and the Dreadful Snakes...insane banjo sheeeeit.
Also 'Hayseed Dixie'...they play rock/metal songs in bluegrass style.
Trampled by Turtles, I'm late to the comments and surprised they haven't been mentioned yet.
Dad was a big fan, and passed it on to me. Trying to get my kids into it as well. I don't really know many bands/songs, just pull up searches on YouTube one in a while. Thanks for dropping names, I will check it out.
Billy Strings is a great starting point, does countless old school covers, and his newgrass resonates with the younger crowd as well as the older generation
He's got the greatest mandolin player in the game!
