For me My favs are:

Larry Keel

Acoustic Syndicate/Big Daddy Bluegrass Band
David Via
Leftover Salmon
Furnace Mountain
Ruth and Curtis Burch
Barefoot Manner
and of course
Snake Oil Medicine Show

 

That's who I forgot!
I met these guys! they put on one crazy show!

 

I'll add Tony Rice and Norman Blake to the list.

I saw the South Austin Jug Band a few weeks ago and they were excellent.

 

good to hear someone mention the nitty gritty dirt band, definately one of my favs

and ya, love the bluegrass, I come from a pretty musical family so anytime we get together out in the sticks of central Ontario there's usually a few folks fidlin on the fiddle, picken at the banjos and dobros, and strummin on the mandolin and GEEEEEEtars

 

I love YMSB and Leftover Salmon. Everyone should also check out Old & In The Way. It was the bluegrass band that Jerry Garcia played banjo for. They have some great stuff. And the Kentucky Colonels have some excellent picking by Clarence White.
