Why this name?
The name was put together from several ideas we had.
Do you play live?
Playing live is the reason we exist. We love playing anywhere from festivals to posh restaurants.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It makes it possible for regional and local groups like us to have a world-wide presence in the music community.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Very doubtful. The demands and pressure placed on people is nothing we'd want.
Band History:
Each member has been playing music their whole life. BlueGrassFire was started in early 2004.
Your influences?
Bill Monroe (of course), Del McCoury Band, Open Road, HotRize, any and all 1st generation bluegrass personalities.
Favorite spot?
Our favorite place to be is on stage, in a jam circle or practicing.
