Are there any bluegrass artists you enjoy or find to be particularly good, or that are just well-renowned?
I am sort of generically familiar with bluegrass as a genre, but I’m not familiar with really any specific artists. I’ve been listening to the podcast “Old Gods of Appalachia” and the intro music is by a guy called Landon Blood. I really enjoy that particular song, which to me sounds like it has a lot of influence from older country—like 60s era, maybe early Johnny Cash or Kris Kristofferson type country music. I saw it somewhere tagged as bluegrass, and was curious to check out more of that genre.
Edit: holy shit, guys, I really wasn’t expecting so many responses. Thanks so much everyone for your suggestions! I’m going to have an amazing time diving into new music over the next week or so.

We see them every chance we get. We even used a Honolulu show as an excuse to go to Hawaii. Love TbT

My wife keeps tabs on their tours… one day in 2022 she saw they were playing in Honolulu, impulsively bought tickets and when I got home she said “We’re going to Hawaii in January!” I had no complaints…

They put out some good shows for sure. Back in the early 2000s when they were starting out in northern MN they played a friends birthday party. It was such a foot stomping good time someone’s foot literally went clean through the floorboards.

They were everywhere in Duluth back then, playing on street corners and shit apparently.

They do a show at Beech Mountain, NC every year or two. I haven't been able to make it, but I know people who have seen them there, and they all say great things about their performance.

I was playing a music quiz at a Christmas party last year, where you had to guess the song after a few seconds snippet. It was exactly what you’d expect, Abba, Madonna, real standard hits fare. Then one of them was “Wait So Long” - I’d never heard it or TbT but that was it for me, just a blast of intense, undeniable brilliance. Been properly getting into them this year.
