The Bluegrass Breakdown 7/10/26

Tonight we’re playing Bluegrass classics from Bill Monroe, the Osborne Brothers, and Jimmy Martin, as well as favs by contemporary artists Billy Strings, Sturgill Simpson and The Punch Brothers.
Other highlights include tunes from John Herald and the Greenbriar Boys, “Ol Timey” ballads from The Holy Modal Rounders, and some tasty Bluegrass covers of several beloved pop songs – even The Who’s “Baba O’Riley”!
All that, as well as a revisit with a great ’90s Russian bluegrass band, Kurkuzawa.
Give a listen!
