In the hills of Southern Appalachia, Bluegrass music has filled the air for decades, often carrying stories as old as the mountains themselves. Born from blending Northern European and African traditions, Bluegrass is rooted in a community that finds beauty in simplicity and strength. The beginnings of Bluegrass are relatively recent, as it started to take shape in the early 20th century and was influenced by the folk music of European settlers and the rhythms brought by African Americans. Through its growth in the 40s to today, Bluegrass remains a celebration of community and resilience, honoring its rich origins.
