The Lonesome River Band is one of my favorite American contemporary bluegrass bands. The band is quite prolific and has released 15 recording projects since its formation in 1982. My favorite song of theirs is “If the Moon Never Sees the Light of Day” (above).
When I moved to a mountain town for college and felt both alone and excited for a new start, this song was always on my mind. It really speaks to anyone who has ever felt misunderstood or lost in life. I was reminded of it recently when it played in the outro of an episode of Yellowstone (the incredible new Kevin Costner show).
Nellie Kane has all the great bluegrass themes: new love, cross-country travel, lifelong devotion, etc. In my opinion, the song and Hot Rize more broadly are extremely underrated for their awesome contributions to modern bluegrass music.
The Hackensaw Boys bring their unique blend of bluegrass, folk, and rock together to create this awesome song.
The Lil Smokies formed in the town where I now live: Missoula, Montana. However, they’ve quickly grown to become popular across America and now tour all over the country. I’ve seen them live and it’s always an amazing time hearing their new bluegrass songs and their takes on old classics.
Railroad Earth is one of the “jammier” modern bluegrass / newgrass bands – honoring the tradition of the Grateful Dead while also staying true to the roots of Appalachian music.
Greensky Bluegrass is a five-piece American bluegrass/rock band founded in Kalamazoo, Michigan in mid-2000. The band has evolved over the years, growing from 3 to 5 members, adding electric effects, and touring with a full light show.
Alison Maria Krauss is an American bluegrass-country singer and musician. She entered the music industry at an early age, winning local contests by the age of 10 and recording for the first time at 14. She signed with Rounder Records in 1985 and released her first solo album in 1987. Krauss has released fourteen albums, appeared on numerous soundtr...
Dan Tyminski is an American bluegrass composer, vocalist, and instrumentalist. He is a member of Alison Krauss’s band Union Station, and has released three solo albums. My favorite is his 2008 album Wheels.
It’s hard to deny Billy String’s influence in revolutionizing the modern bluegrass scene. As a young guitar virtuoso, Billy has breathed new life into songs by classic bluegrass artists like Doc Watson and Tony Rice. He also has a number of excellent original songs which you can hear in the video above.
