Monroe Crossing performs an electrifying blend of classic bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, original bluegrass and some surprising selections outside the bluegrass genre. Named in honor of Bill Monroe, the Father of Bluegrass Music, Monroe Crossing’s superb musicianship and on-stage rapport have entertained audiences throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.

For over 20 years this Minnesota based band has averaged over 100 shows a year performing in intimate rooms, community theaters, major venues and outdoor festivals. They are favorites among bluegrass connoisseurs and non-bluegrass audiences alike. They love introducing newcomers to bluegrass music!

Tapers notes: Recording 12/14 from RecFest 2024. This is one of my favorites sets of the weekend, it's always a pleasure to see Monroe Crossing. Making the set even better was they played one of my requests! Between sets at their shows, they seek out requests from the crowd, and get to as many as they can in the second set. I requested Long Black Veil, it's one of my favorites, and I was thrilled they played it.

I’m travelin’ light and I’m slow coming home"
