BlueBilly Grit takes you to a crossroad where old fashioned bluegrass meets progressive, contemporary, and rockabilly. With a love for all genres of music, BlueBilly Grit performs the music everyone loves along with new and innovative originals driven by a style all their own. Just three short years ago, BlueBilly Grit was jamming once a year around an old grist mill at a county park. Now a song the group wrote and recorded about that old grist mill has been shipped to 800 radio stations in the U.S., Europe, and Australia. The song appears on a compilation CD along with songs from Rhonda Vincent and the Rage, Steve Martin, and The Grascals. Not bad for a group fairly new to the bluegrass Americana scene.

With two CDs under their belt. BlueBilly Grit continues to evolve into what they hope will be a force to be reckoned with. Amidst much uncertainty in the music world these days, the group seems to be holding their coarse and will be the first to tell you that a source greater than themselves appears to be calling the shots. BlueBilly Grit takes pride in the fact that they’re not just another “hot lick, blazing solo” bluegrass group. It’s all about the song with this group and rightly so, because they have something to say.

The title of their latest CD and the theme of their performance schedule for 2011, which included appearances at Bear on the Square and other Dahlonega venues, is “Ready For A Change”.
