Starting this thread in hopes to get a good discussion started about what type of artists you hobos like to listen to in the Folk/Bluegrass genre. Also to hear about any stories you might have about certain songs or shows you've been to that have impacted you on your journeys.

3 words.....PAT THE BUNNY

I love Pat The Bunny! I remember when i got kicked out of the house for the first time i moved in with a junkie, who would later become one of my best friends, and at the time i had just discovered probably nothing, possibly everything, and it changed my whole perspective on folk and lyric writing.. some deep shit on that album, helped me though a rough time.

i have never been into bluegrass & am aging out of being able to tolerate all the screaming in folk-punk, but i do have an enduring love of appalachian old-time that started from trying to learn clawhammer banjo. tommy jarrell is my all-time favorite classic folk artist in that genre...be good tanyas are a really lovely, girly indie neo-americana sort of band. oh yeah, check out roscoe holcomb for some true lonesome old school mountain banjo blues!

Bluegrass/folk like old blues are history in song. Americana at its finest imo. Folk punk/traveller stuff is like homage to those stories and like a carrying on of the torch. It always feels old timey. Simple and nostalgic. There really is so much history and depth in it i love it. I love to wander youtube listening o stuff in these general genres. So much good shit. Ive really dug this song lately..... hogslop string band ~ Reuben's train

The song Denouncing November Blue by the Avett Brothers has always stuck with me.

You might be surprised at some good folk bluegrass music from The Grateful Dead... also a lot of good Jerry Garcia solo stuff too.
