When you say bluegrass to me, I question your sanity, when you tell me it's a type of music, I begin to call medics.
That was the case when my friend said he wanted to go and see a bluegrass band called Steep Canyon Rangers perform. Very reluctantly I accepted on the basis that they had performed with Steve Martin, yes Steve Martin the legendary comedian and was told that he sometimes makes an appearance at the shows of these 6 individuals, I had to go!
The band from North Carolina, USA have many accomplishments under their belts as I had quickly learned even being awarded with entertainers of the year in 2011 by the International Bluegrasss Music Association.
Seeing this band live was very different from what I am used to as I am mainly a fan of hip hop, but I was pleasantly surprised as they were actually quite funny as I learned when they told jokes to the audience. The audience really enjoyed their performance of 'Tell The Ones I love' I actually enjoyed this myself as the sounds of the natural instruments, vibrated across the room.
As a person who had no idea what bluegrass was, I was definitely a fan after seeing this myself, I would recommend anybody to also go and watch this band perform!
