Your patience, your eye for detail, and shared love for bluegrass has been priceless in this process. I am also forever thankful for how you and our children have cheered me on in this process. Thank you dad, for introducing me to bluegrass music. Thank you for daring to play and listen to music you loved, although it was not always mainstream. Thank you Holly and Bart, for providing me with language expertise. Thank you, staff at the Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival 2016 for being so helpful. A huge thanks to Barry Bales, Charles Clements, Mike Compton, Jerry Douglas, Leigh Gibson and Sierra Hull for letting me interview you and for providing me with unique and valuable material. Thank you Stan Hawkins, my supervisor, for challenging me, encouraging me, and believing in me. I could never have done this without your guiding. Thank you, Alison Krauss, for loving and respecting bluegrass. Without your love for bluegrass, I wouldn’t have had mine. Sigrun S. Sandstad Stavern, October 2016 ii A Transforming Voice in a Changing Genre - Alison Krauss - iii A Transforming Voice in a Changing Genre - Alison Krauss - PREFACE If you asked me to guess, I would have said that it happened last week. It was one of those defining moments, which feels like days and at the same time a lifetime ago.

    Ierra Hull Est Née Le 27 Septembre 1991 À Byrdstown Dans Le Tennessee

    ierra Hull est née le 27 Septembre 1991 à Byrdstown dans le Tennessee. S Elle grandit dans une famille de musiciens et comme beaucoup de familles américaines, Sierra assiste aux offices dans Oak Grove Baptiste Church, chante avec son frère aîné Cody et sa mère, accompagnée par son père à la guitare rythmique. La famille écoute le bluegrass avec des artistes comme Doyle Lawson, Flatt & Scruggs, Tony Rice. Sierra va apprécier aussi Jimmy Martin et bien sur Alison Krauss. Le premier instrument avec lequel joue Sierra est le violon, mais devant la difficulté, instrument trop grand pour elle, elle choisit de jouer de la Mandoline; elle a alors 7 ans. Rapidement elle devient prodige et l’association IBMA, l’invite à se produire dans un mini- Showcase lors d’un festival de Bluegrass Music à Louisville dans le Kentucky. C’est au cours d’un événement créé par IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) qu’elle rencontre Ron Block, joueur de banjo et de guitare qui fait partie du Band d’Alison Krauss. Ron favorise une rencontre avec Alison. Ron Block Alison se lie d’amitié avec Sierra et va l’inviter à se produire avec elle sur la scène du Grand Ole Opry; Sierra à tout juste 8 ans. Sur la scène du Grand Ole Opry avec Alison Kraus Alors qu’elle joue professionnellement depuis 10 ans, elle signe son premier contrat d’enregistrement avec le label Rounder Records. A 11 ans, accompagnée par Alison Krauss et Dan Tyminski, elle va se produire à une soirée à la Maison Blanche le 21 Novembre 2011.

  • Ricky Skaggs

    Ricky Skaggs

    Ricky Skaggs --A life full of music. That’s the story of Ricky Skaggs. By age twenty-one, he was already considered a “recognized master” of one of America’s most demanding art forms, but his career took him in other directions, catapulting him to popularity and success in the mainstream of country music. His life’s path has taken him to various musical genres, from where it all began in bluegrass music, to striking out on new musical journeys, while still leaving his musical roots intact. Ricky struck his first chords on a mandolin over 50 years ago, and this 15-time Grammy Award winner continues to do his part to lead the recent roots revival in music. With 12 consecutive Grammy-nominated classics behind him, all from his own Skaggs Family Records label (Bluegrass Rules! in 1998, Ancient Tones in 1999, History of the Future in 2001, Soldier of the Cross, Live at the Charleston Music Hall, and Big Mon: The Songs of Bill Monroe in 2003, Brand New Strings in 2005, Instrumentals in 2007, Salt of the Earth with The Whites in 2008, Honoring the Fathers of Bluegrass: Tribute to 1946 and 1947 in 2009 and Ricky Skaggs Solo: Songs My Dad Loved along with Mosaic in 2010), the diverse and masterful tones made by the gifted Skaggs come from a life dedicated to playing music that is both fed by the soul and felt by the heart. Ricky was born on July 18, 1954 in Cordell, Kentucky, and received his first mandolin at the age of five after his father, Hobert, heard him harmonizing with his mother from across the house as he played with his toys.

Da jeg kjøpte min første banjo i en alder av 20 år fant jeg gjennom dette instrumentet også fort frem til bluegrass-sjangeren, og siden den gang har denne musikken i stor grad preget min musikalske retning. Arbeidet med denne oppgaven har krevd mye tid og innsatsvilje, men det har fremfor alt vært veldig inspirerende å kunne fordype seg enda mer i tematikken rundt denne musikksjangeren. Jeg vil gi en stor takk til Ragnhild Brøvig-Hanssen for kjempegod veiledning gjennom lærerike og opplysende samtaler, gode referanser og konstruktive tilbakemeldinger. Takk til Henrik Østgaard for korrekturlesing, og for mange interessante samtaler over en kaffekopp på Blindern. Takk til venner og familie for god støtte gjennom arbeidstiden med denne oppgaven, og for å ha måttet gjennomgå flere samtaler om både autentisitet, sjanger og bluegrass enn dere er vant til å måtte gjennomgå. Ikke minst, takk til Håvard Haugland og Ole Kristian Bekkevold for å være veldig gode samboere å ha under en tidkrevende prosess.
