DESCRIPTION: Blue Grass Boogiemen was de tweede band op 21 september 2012 op de laatste editie van IJsselpop. De Blue Grass Boogiemen aan het woord: "Hi folks! We are the Blue Grass Boogiemen and we've been playing traditional bluegrass professionally since 1990. As the Hillbilly Boogiemen, we also play rockabilly and country, but as the Blue Grass Boogiemen we play strictly acoustic instruments standing around just one omni-directional microphone. Our show has proved to be very successful here in Europe. In Ireland we won the 'Waterford Crystal Bowl' for 'most popular band' at the Guinness International Bluegrass Festival, in Holland we won the 'Silver Fiddle Award' and the 'Gram Parsons Award' (eight times) both for best acoustic country/bluegrass band, and beat Alison Krauss to the number one spot in the 'Strictly Country' charts. Also in America, where we've been touring several times, people are very enthousiastic about our music."
