Collection: Newgrass

Newgrass is an innovative and boundary-pushing offshoot of traditional bluegrass that emerged in the late 20th century, blending the rootsy sounds of Appalachia with elements of rock, jazz, and other contemporary genres. This vibrant musical style is characterized by its willingness to experiment with unconventional song structures, complex harmonies, and extended instrumental improvisations. Progressive Bluegrass, a prominent subgenre of Newgrass, often features intricate arrangements and incorporates influences from diverse musical traditions, pushing the limits of what can be achieved with traditional bluegrass instruments. Instrumental Bluegrass, another important facet of the Newgrass movement, showcases the virtuosic abilities of musicians on instruments like the banjo, fiddle, and mandolin, often in extended, jazz-like solo passages. While maintaining a connection to its bluegrass roots, Newgrass appeals to a broader audience by infusing the genre with fresh energy and modern sensibilities.
