Coastal Virginia Bluegrass & Brew Festival: Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra

Hayde Bluegrass Orchestra defies any notion that bluegrass needs to be confined to Appalachia or any other corner of the American heartland. With a critically acclaimed debut album, a wealth of praise from critics throughout the continent, and an instrumental acumen that defines them as musicians with a determined drive and dynamic, the band has helped reinvent the idea of roots music in a new and imaginative way. In doing so, they stay true to their early inspirations — specifically, Alison Krauss and Dan Tyminski sharing their sound in the Oscar-nominated Belgian film titled “Broken Circle Breakdown” — while coming up with a fresh and exhilarating approach that’s entirely their own.
