So you’ve spent a lot of weekends in watching old bluegrass movies on your www.directstartv.com channels and you’re ready to get out and about and explore the grass lovin’ parts of the country? If you’re up for a bluegrass roadtrip take a chance on a few of the following regions:
Virginia: Rural Virginia, particularly the western part of the state, is known for its dedication to bluegrass. You may find some really great instrument stores as well as some old-timers – stop in at any local apple shop for an earful.
Kentucky: The birthplace of bluegrass, Kentucky may as well be the national state of bluegrass. People here live and breathe it and whether you want a T-shirt, a private lesson or to meet one of the greats, this is the place to be.
Tennessee: Just outside of Nashville TN gets a little less country and a little less bluegrass. If you venture towards the mountains (particularly over towards Kentucky) you’ll start picking up numerous bluegrass stations on your radio dialit’s a haven for that kind of music as well as music-lovers of all kinds!
