Re: Bluegrass Music
Noone's mentioned Hayseed Dixie. I think the genre is called rockgrass or something like that, I think.

Re: Bluegrass Music
Trampled by Turtles are enjoying some recent success, and has a songwriter twist on bluegrass. I heartily second Old and In the Way. Yes, yes, yes.

Re: Bluegrass Music
They're not strictly bluegrass, but I highly recommend Old Crow Medicine Show. I also second pretty much every recommendation in this thread so far.

Re: Bluegrass Music
Thank you everyone. I now have a list. Will go and sample online and see if I can find something that might appeal to her and not drive me batty if I have to listen along.
I'll follow up with what I end up buying and how it was received.

Re: Bluegrass Music
Seems to be a trend.
My daughter bought a banjo for her boyfriend for Xmas. As well as my son's girlfriend bought him a banjo for Christmas. Foggy Mountain Breakdown is in my future.

I find them pretty comparable to bands like The Lumineers, The Wedding Band and Of Monsters and Men...you may even venture out to someone like Sufjan Stevens, Sam Phillips, St Lola in the Fields, Phil Madeira, The Civil Wars, Over The Rhine, Julie Miller and Buddy Miller. Again, make sure your daughter is into Bluegrass which is more twangy than folk...they use the same instruments but folk can get sort of trippy when it wants too. And if she does like Bluegrass, make sure you know if it is Bluegrass or Newgrass/Americana. Allison Krauss and Union Station, Nickle Creek, Mutual Admiration Society and The Greencards are in the Newgrass vein...Americana type artists would be Wilco, Iron & Wine, Fleet Foxes and the sort. Hope this is helpful.

Re: Bluegrass Music
I'd add The Avett Brothers to the Mumford list.
The true bluegrass list is a good one, too. There's a lot of variety there, which is something people don't often credit bluegrass for.
