About

Your one stop tour performed in the northern San Joaquin Valley and surrounding Sierra foothills.

Valley Bluegrass and Roots is created to promote the acoustic music that springs from the American soul, be it traditional country, gospel, old time fiddle, bluegrass, or honky tonk.  Well to be honest, also popping up here will be gypsy jazz, euro cafe music, Mexican folk tunes and just about anything else that touches some deep root of the soul. As time goes on I’ll include pieces on the history of our music, reviews, and musings about everyday life here in the Valley and the nearby foothills.
