Sassafras: Bluegrass From Blue Ridge Mountains North Carolina

The Sassafras Bluegrass Band invites you to a HOOTENANNY

What is a HOOTENANNY? It is a banjo-brained hoedown-throwdown-don’t slow down until the cows come home! Sassafras is from the Foothills and the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina in the USA, which is home to some of the best bluegrass music you will find. Sassafras pays homage to the Father of Bluegrass music, Bill Monroe, as well as other bluegrass pioneers such as the Country Gentlemen, Lester Flatt & Earl Scruggs. Sassafras enjoys pushing the edge of progressive Newgrass music, as well. Sassafras also includes a range of other musical styles in their repertoire including country, folk, western swing, & originals
