BluegrassAmong the great bluegrass artists on Festival Radio, you'll hear: Alison Krauss and Union Station: Great fiddler, a remarkable voice, hot band. The Clumsy Lovers: Indie group from Vancouver playing what they call "raging Celtic bluegrass rock" and what a reviewer called "speed metal hillbilly polka." Whatever you call it, it's really fine. Patty Loveless: Her bluegrass album is really fine. Claire Lynch: Fine bluegrass performer Jake Armerding: Young bluegrass multi-instrumentalist. Background includes a stint with Northern Lights. Nickel Creek: Remarkably talented young bluegrass group Northern Lights: Great bluegrass group The McKrells: Indie Celtgrass band from upstate New York. What's Celtgrass? A mixture of Celtic and bluegrass, and these guys make it work. Railroad Earth: Bluegrass jam band. Rhonda Vincent: Mandolinist, fiddler, three-time bluegrass International Bluegrass Music Association Female Vocalist of the Year. Salamander Crossing: No longer in existence as a group, but they put out several fine albums in the 90s, with some unusual covers, including Bruce Springsteen and Bruce Cockburn.
