   About Blackstrap
Blackstrap has been playing since 2001 here in Central Oregon. Some of the faces have changed,but those who like our style of The Bluegrass won't be disappointed with the latest assembly of red hot pickers. We have been playing some of the familiar bluegrass standards and our originals that base their roots in the world of hard driving acoustic music. We will be playing around central Oregon all winter and hope to have a new CD released after the first of the year--Hope to see you out there. Thanks for supporting local music!
