Just like Bourbon, bluegrass music was born in Kentucky, deriving from the hills of Appalachia. Kentuckian Bill Monroe, known as the Father of Bluegrass Music, helped shape the sound we know today as 'pickin.' Bluegrass music is full of varied rhythms and is traditionally played only on acoustic instruments. Deriving from a myriad of traditional sounds, including roots, Americana, Afro-Lachen, alt-country, blues, and jazz - Bluegrass truly has its own unique soul. Nearly a century later, bluegrass music is reviving in Kentucky's largest city creating a microgenre we've coined as LouGrass.
