From their humble beginnings of playing local pizza joints for peanuts, The Blue Mountain Boys have developed into one of Swedens leading exponents of traditional bluegrass.
Their hard-driving, high-n-lonesome approach to the music, combined with a humourous stage manner, makes for a great live act that stays true to the classic bluegrass shows of the golden era.
"The Blue Mountain Boys struck like lightning from a clear blue sky!"
