In December, 1975, Bill Monroe & Blue Grass Boys served as three times of performances in Nagano. A bluegrass band is born taking advantage of this in Nagano-shi in the next year(1976) and is succeeded for 43 years until today. Del McCoury Band, Peter Rowan, Butch Robins, Larry Stephenson gave a performance the other day in Nagano-shi, and it was in the place of the interchange with "Grass Crazy" inside and outside the prefecture. The born band is "Bluegrass Trad. Band" first in Nagano-shi (1976 -). It is two people of Reiji Miyagawa and Keiko Matsushita in original members now that is regularly.
After that many bands are formed and develop while changing the formation. We appeared for various events by the Nagano Winter Olympics, the Paralympics carried out to 1998 and directed a place of the interchange with a player and the person concerned of all the countries of the world. For a national overforty band battle fought in Omachi-shi, Nagano in the next year, We shined to appearance, the grand prix by Reiji Miyagawa (m), Keiko Matsushita (vo), Seiichi Maruyama (g), Toshihiro Ohashi (bj), Chris
Hoskins (f), formation of Nobuo Kojima (bs). We named it in 2006. It decided to call friends of the bluegrass crazy of Nagano "Nagano Bluegrass Special". It becomes the title of the bluegrass event to be carried out in October every year. The visitor more than 100 every time came for a live held as NBS(Nagano Bluegrass Special) in October and swell very much, and a constituency opens year by year every year.
I rush to the guest bands from the prefecture outside.
Honest to goodness 'hot' bluegrass music and fiddle tunes from the hill
