Big Country Bluegrass delivers their own hard-driving style of bluegrass that makes them crowd favorites wherever they perform from festivals and concerts across this country to the stage of the Grand Ole Opry. With two decades of experience under their belts, the band offers the very best of traditional bluegrass music. Their sound is reminiscent of hearing Bill Monroe and Lester Flat & Earl Scruggs at their very best.
Big Country Bluegrass was formed by husband and wife Tommy and Teresa Sells in the late 1980's and took its name from Tommy's coon-hunting buddy Jimmy Martin's instrumental, Big Country. In the ensuing years, they played numerous fiddlers’ conventions, capturing their share of individual and band honors, as well as performing at festivals in the southeastern US. Big Country Bluegrass signed a long-term recording contract with Mountain Roads Recordings of Bristol, Tennessee in January 2008. They have long since abandoned the "competition" circuit and have concentrated on festivals and concert dates. They have developed a large and devoted following all over America and now to many foreign countries including Great Britain and Australia and are making a showing on the national bluegrass charts.
