Newgrass

Newgrass emerged in the 1970s as a cheeky blend of traditional bluegrass and more contemporary influences, proving that you can indeed teach an old genre new tricks. Imagine banjos alongside electric guitars and the odd sprinkle of jazz or rock; it's like a bluegrass jam session that had too much coffee and decided to let loose. The result? A sound that makes purists raise an eyebrow whilst secretly tapping a foot, because sometimes a bit of chaos has its charm.
