The Nashville Bluegrass Band is an American bluegrass music ensemble founded in 1984.

With each of the members being established musicians from the Nashville bluegrass community, the group's members first played together in 1984 as a backing band for Vernon Oxford and Minnie Pear. They signed to Rounder Records and recorded their debut (produced Béla Fleck), My Native Home, in 1985. Incorporating elements of black gospel and spirituals, then a rarity in bluegrass, they became critical and popular successes both in America and abroad. [read more...]
