Hi everyone. I am looking for some good bluegrass bands. I am having a bit of trouble though.. I despise country music... I hate that signature whine/half yodel all country vocalist do to sound like each other, I hate that signature country fiddle and/or dobro/lapsteel sound that immediately lets you know you're in for some tractor ridin, #### kickin, cry in your beer fun lol.. no offense to any country fans.. I personally just do not like that type of music.. not near enough variety for me. It seems a lot of bluegrass tends to have a lot in common with country. But there are those that have their own sound and its amazing.
I love bluegrass guitar, banjo, mandolin, cello/bass... I love the fast pickin pure acoustic sound. Obviously, I'm looking for good bluegrass bands that dont have much in common with country. So far I really like The Dead South, some Greensky Bluegrass("Burn Them" is my fave from them), Mumford and Sons(probably more indie than bluegrass), some Punch Brothers/Chris Thile... what do you guys/gals suggest?
Maybe I'm confused and bluegrass isnt even the right genre for me?
Thanks.
