Bluegrass in Hungary

I was really suprised to see the outfits the guys were wearing. Where are the beards and baseball caps. . . ?

I had the chance to see a Hungarian bluegrass band tonight (The Banjo Jumping Band) in the small town of Dunaujvaros, where my parents live. The concert was a part of a summer concert series held in a beautiful park that is built around a gazebo.

Well, bluegrass is getting popular in Europe, but these boys definitely have a lot to learn. I am spoiled now, since I live in the land of bluegrass and can hear the best bluegrass music on a daily basis (This is definitely a friendly tribute to my friends at Blue Ridge Music).
