Bluegrass music in Europe

Bluegrass music was conceived in the Appalachian region of the United States, drawing its roots from other countries in which it has since become a notable art form. Participants in European bluegrass scenes have mixed local musical elements with specifically American elements to create their own takes on the genre. Over the past 90 years Bluegrass music has spread from the hills of Appalachia in the United States to create small communities of musicians and listeners in over 62 countries in Europe.
