Big Red and The Wagoneers
Big Red and the Wagoneers blend the traditional structure of bluegrass music with a youthful approach that draws listeners of all ages. Their selection of material will be familiar to die-hard bluegrass fans and will entertain the novice. They have mastered the music's "drive" essential to capturing the attention of listeners but deliver a song with a certain gentleness that soothes and entertains. You'll like Big Red and the Wagoneers. They represent the future of bluegrass music."

Your musical influences
Our goal from the beginning has been to be a true bluegrass band keeping the old sound alive yet with a youthful energy.
What equipment do you use?
We are 100% totally acoustic. No pick-ups allowed. The die-hard bluegrass crowd welcomes us...the rock-n-roll soundmen hate us.
Anything else?
Give our music a listen. Hope you enjoy. Any feedback is welcomed.
We do have CD's available which were recorded live. Drop us an email if you would like ordering info.
Live on The Redline - which features several traditional bluegrass tunes along with originals from the band.
Classic Bluegrass Instrumentals: Live - as the name says, from Orange Blossom to Shuckin The Corn to Rawhide.
