Today, the Boston area is enjoying another golden age for bluegrass and old time music nurtured by the presence of Berklee College of Music. The accredited four year college, has drawn new influx of young roots music musicians, and has become an epicenter for another generation of creative bluegrass artists.

  • 2020 Winter BMAM Newsletter
    Bluegrass Music Association of Maine Winter 2020 75TH ANNIVERSARY OF BLUEGRASS BOOKS ABOUT BLUEGRASS MUSIC by Stan Keach I can think of three reasons why writing a short article covering books about bluegrass music might be a good idea for the winter newsletter: 1. There’s just not much current “news” about bluegrass music — not here in Maine, and not anywhere. Bands are mostly pretty inactive; there are no jams. 2. Some people have more time to read than usual, because there are no live concerts right now, no festivals, no jams. And, though I think a lot of bluegrass fans don’t realize this, there are many excellent books available about our fa- vorite subject. 3. If we can get this edition of The Bluegrass Express out early enough, it may spur a few Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs on the Grand Ole Opry, Dec. 8, 1945 people to buy a book or 2 for their favorite blue- grass music fans for a holiday gift. Seventy-five years ago, on December 8th, 1945, Bill Monroe and the So . here are seven of my favorite books Bluegrass Boys appeared on the Grand Ole Opry with a new line-up that related to bluegrass music. Most of these books, included 21-year-old Earl Scruggs playing a style of syncopated 3-finger though not brand new, are readily available from picking on the banjo that had never been heard before, and it absolutely booksellers of all kinds. And even if your local electrified the audience. Scruggs’ fiery banjo picking, Monroe’s frantic library doesn’t have one of these books, it can mandolin picking, and Chubby Wise’s bluesy fiddling, all done at a blis- likely get it through interlibrary loan; ask your tering pace; the bass thumping on the down beat, Monroe’s chop on the off librarian about that.

  • Bluegrass Legend Ralph Stanley to Make Rare Stop in Greenville Bluegrass Pioneer Plays Municipal Auditorium Oct
    Bluegrass legend Ralph Stanley to make rare stop in Greenville Bluegrass pioneer plays Municipal Auditorium Oct. 22 By Lance Martin Special to the Kenneth Threadgill Concert Series The blues has B.B. King. Rock and roll has James Brown. Country has Willie Nelson and bluegrass has Ralph Stanley. Greenville will get Ralph Stanley for one night on Oct. 22 when he and the Clinch Mountain Boys headline the Kenneth Threadgill Music Series. It’s a show music fans will not want to miss. Ralph Stanley first found fame with his late brother, Carter, after forming the Stanley Brothers in 1946, bringing their form of bluegrass music down from the Appalachian mountains of rural Dickenson County, Va. Their music today is known as the Stanley style of bluegrass music. “It’s more of a mountain style of bluegrass music,” explained James Alan Shelton, lead guitarist for the Clinch Mountain Boys since 1996. “It’s got a little bit more of a raw emotion to it. They sang a lot of songs about mother and home and tragedies and everyday life. Things that people could relate to. They didn’t just sing love ballads or whatever – they had songs that could be true to life. I think people just latched onto that.” The Stanley Brothers’ influence and popularity earned them both a spot in the International Bluegrass Music Association Hall of Fame right next to other pioneers Bill Monroe and Flatt & Scruggs. After Carter’s death in 1966, Ralph carried on with the music but changed the band to Ralph Stanley and the Clinch Mountain Boys.
