With its heartfelt melodies, Bluegrass is where the stories of Southern Appalachian culture can be found. Bluegrass music, unique in sound, is often heard with the sound of five essential instruments: guitar, banjo, fiddle, bass, and mandolin. With the guitar’s rhythm, the banjo’s plucking, and the fiddle’s melodies, each instrument helps to create a sound that shares the spirit of Bluegrass, celebrating community and expressing the heart of Appalachia with those who listen.
