A Kentucky original!!!
Bluegrass has a long and winding history, from Scottish ballads to African-American work songs, from Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys to the O Brother, Where Art Thou? soundtrack. In a lively theatrical album of scenes created for the Acting Apprentice Company at The Actor’s Theatre of Louisville in 2015, four writers respond with playfulness and poignancy to the signature sounds, inherited stories, and cultural impact of this very American–and very Kentucky–music tradition.
