   About Professors of Bluegrass
In the early '90s, now Yale College Dean Peter Salovey, and fellow Psychology Professor, Kelly Brownell, assembled a group of Yale community members who, like themselves, loved to play and listen to bluegrass music. The group enthralled the rest of the community, and as the picture to the left documents, it carries on that tradition to this day.

As members of the original band moved on, a brief lull in the music was relieved by a second incarnation of the group. That edition enjoyed great popularity from 1996 to 1999, but sadly for music lovers, members continued to move on and the Professors of Bluegrass once again descended into quiescence.

Now, thanks to some returning members, some new members, and the passion for the music that unites bluegrass musicians everywhere, the Professors of Bluegrass are alive and well once again!


Join the Professors of Bluegrass in Owensboro, KY where we are honored to share the stage with many of the true greats of bluegrass! We will be playing on Saturday afternoon, and the festival is loaded with (other) bluegrass talent for a great long weekend. Click on the banner to learn more.

Haaa! Death metal banjo! I like it! You are obviously a man of discernment and refined tastes!

Seriously, thanks for the kind words. I plan to make a couple of very cool solo banjo YouTubes soon.

I haven't seen/heard anything like them before - keep an eye open for them over the next several months.
