About Music & Film

Bluegrass music grew out of the Appalachian Mountains, woven from Scottish and Irish fiddle traditions, African American banjo technique, and the sacred shape-note singing that echoed through rural churches. Bill Monroe forged the sound in the 1940s with his Blue Grass Boys out of Kentucky, blending lightning-fast mandolin runs with close, aching harmonies that seemed to rise straight out of the hollers and creek bottoms. The music has always been communal — a front-porch art form where ears and fingers learn together, where a simple waltz can turn into something that makes the hair on your arms stand up.
