I only listen to two bluegrass bands, so my knowledge isn't extensive, but I like Iron Horse's Modest Mouse covers and Yonder Mountain String Band

He may in fact, be a literal bum, only able to make himself known to us here by occasionally stopping into dark internet cafes to make a few quick, frantic posts before the owners force him to leave because of the stench of rotting vegetables and desperation wafting forth from his pores.

my favortie banjoist is dock boggs. much more old timey really.
another favorite of mine is Charlie Poole and the North Carolina Ramblers. good 1920s bluegrass. you should check these two out if you can. they both inspired me to learn to they play banjo.
and then there are also the perennials:
flatt & scruggs
doc watson & bill monroe
the carter family
ralph stanley
etc. etc.

there a lot of bluegrass listeners in OTD.
if you used the search feature in the OTD forum you'll probably find something enjoyable.

Bill Monroe of course.
Alot of people here will calim Yonder is good bluegrass. Personally I dont like Yonder at all. They are not bluegrass, and sound nothing like bluegrass. They are a cover band for the grateful dead basically.

i agree to a certain point with you on this one. Yonder is a more up to date version of bluegrass imo, but i haven't listened to a lot of it. ty for the recommendations guys, really appreciate it.

around the beginning of May, i am going to make a bluegrass thread similar to the indie album thread. but right now i don't have time
some good ones to start off with are:
early Stanley Brothers, and Ralph Stanley
early Monroe Brothers, and Bill Monroe
Jimmy Martin
John Hartford
Charlie Louvin
Hazel Dickens
Carter Family

there's a term for this...'newgrass'
bluegrass influenced/based bands are doing amazing things nowadays. psychograss is developing (also a group name) and in some cases is phenomenal.
i love all sorts of grass

Here, Yonder is good.
I wouldn't call them a GD cover band at all, but they're not really straight bluegrass.
