Pioneers of Bluegrass
whom we have interviewed to date through our Video Oral History Project



The museum is always looking for more stories, artifacts and recordings  of bluegrass music’s first generation. It helps us put a face to each of these important names, as each had a significant impact on the development of bluegrass music. If you have a story to share, or something to donate to the museum, email Gabrielle Gray or call the museum at  (270) 926 7891. We look forward to sharing your stories with bluegrass fans all over the world.
