The Bluegrass Situation

The Bluegrass Situation Your home for all things
bluegrass, country, and roots music!

BGS is your hub for all things roots.

What began as a blog for like-minded Los Angelenos pining for bluegrass in Southern California has morphed and grown over the greater part of a decade to become a national and international roots music brand. BGS is proud to be a standard-bearer for all of the things we love about bluegrass within every branch and offshoot of the roots music family tree — from vibey pop-folk to ravishing alt-count

ry; plus blues, singer/songwriter, Americana, old-time, acoustic, and everything else above, below, and in between. From Nashville to London to Los Angeles, BGS brings modern, self-aware, and progressive sensibilities to the editorial, curatorial, and marketing needs of the world’s American roots music communities.
