Bushwick Mountain Boys was formed in 2023 to fit a rare niche: Traditional Bluegrass in New York City.

The band shares over 40 years of professional bluegrass experience, and features four of the northeast’s finest acoustic musicians. Having first met at jam sessions in NYC, they’ve cultivated a project that aims to present more obscure material from the Bluegrass canon, as well originals in the same aesthetic vein.
