Spare Time Bluegrass, Madison, WI
Rooted in Bluegrass Instrumentation & Sensibility.
Spare Time Bluegrass was formed in 1994 and the music is
eclectic, but rooted in a bluegrass instrumentation and sensibility.
The name is indicative of both the state of bluegrass music and
the fact that everyone has had an actual day job. Spare Time Bluegrass has appeared on bills with Del McCoury, James King, Special Consensus, David Davis, the Warrior River Boys, and Lynne Morris. In the words of the Grateful Dead, “What a long strange
trip it’s been.”
