Comments
“Father of bluegrass”, mandolin player, singer and songwriter. He was credited with developing and perfecting the bluegrass music form and taught it to many great names in the industry including his protégés Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs He is a descendant of the fifth president of the United States. Monroe began to concentrate on the mandolin at age nine because no family member played that instrument. In 2002, he was inducted into the Kentucky Music Hall of Fame.
