At a couple of points, you can really see the advantage of a fiddle player who is also a classically trained violinist. Certain musical vibes are only possible when the fiddle player can shift into "violinist mode" and produce that classical tone out of the instrument.
I heard this band playing live at the California Bluegrass Association Father’s Day Festival in Grass Valley this June 2024 - these musicians are really really good bluegrass musicians, singers, songwriters, all around just great musicians. They played live on KKUP 91.5 in Santa Clara tonight, Monday Night Bluegrass- wonderful to hear them!
I just saw these guys in Dixon California and they were pretty damn good. It’s nice to see that. Their dreams are coming true because their next stop was Nashville Tennessee. I hope them the best they are truly talented.
Tops ... well done ..very talented and professional ... love the authenticity of the lyrics in Korean ... thank you very much
Wowowow!!! Awesome jams all the way around! Loved it!
Great musicality from Korea and its playing style in bluegrass. This interpretation may be more of folk genre than bluegrass. I understand the lyrics and it is not about the everyday Americana. Originated from the early 1900s starting with the Carter Family, I believe bluegrass gives the soul of Southern/Mountain people a voice. Soul of the southern white folk music. I hope they can progress into their own genre in their playing style. However, it may best be served as bluegrass Americana if they experience more of the Mountain Bluegrass and Honky Tonk Music not as notes but as lyrics. That may convey more of the true bluegrass to the public. Great job! Hope to hear them live when I am in Korea soon.
The music as a universal language spoken all over the world. Thanks for that bluegrass moment.
What a superb banjo,they could hold there own anywhere
This is definitely in my opinion one of the greatest Asian bluegrass artists to come along since bluegrass 45. I absolutely adore country gangbong.
thats Korean Bluegrass.
@@dreddmann9292 and Korean is Asian.
@@alan4sure yeah no shit sherlock and to be more specific on which Asian, hence Korean BlueGrass.
Just called, Korean Lemongrass Band or Green Green Grass Band, it doesn't matter. 🤭😁🤫🤫💖🙏
Me too!!!! Amazing!!!
Didn't understand a word of the songs, but that last one nearly had me in tears.
All five are excellent with their instruments.. but she, she, she.. well her singing gives me watery eyes. So beautiful!
THIS IS ACTUALLY IS VERY VERY INNOVATIVE BLUEGRASS
...😊....wait until you discover bluegrass mixed with "metal"...(even if it isn't to your taste, the combination is just perfection!!)
I am in shocked, and I have goosebumps… I say in my head, what have I been?
I dont know how i got here but im glad i did. Im a West Virginia Hillbilly. Bluegrass is the music of my people. I aint got a clue what yall said but ill second that! Excellent! I love it!
Greetings neighbor. KY here
These guys are from the south, too………… South Korea
They were just playing up in Maine, good fun glad they were there. I was thinking that bong gang would might be a good alternate name.
I'm not a world Traveler but I would have been met it would be fun going over there or being able to play with these folks
Loved every minute of it! Ole Bill Monroe would have too........
Anyong. You are absolutly excellent. Let continue ! I spent a very good moment with you and I hope to hear you again. Magnifique ! Daniel (France)
can't express how impressed with this group,banjo is right on,singer what a voice
This is fantastic to see. I really appreciate the love and respect for the music that these folks show. Hope they make it to Nashville soon!
2024 they played Grand Old Opry!
Wonderful energy-love your sound : )
If you can make it there several bluegrass festivals that would love to have you.
뛰어난 성능 (that's "Great performance"!
I live in Nashville and I hope to see you here sometime soon! I hope your dream comes true!
I'm impressed.
Heard them on the Opry on WSM - awesome, gave me goosebumps. They got a standing ovation. They sound as good as Ricky SKaggs band.
Thank you for showing us how wonderful you are.
One of the kind..and I love this group more than the BTS… wow .. I am glad I found you guys.. Please have a concert in America…
they will perform in Ralegh, NC from Sep 26~ at IMBA 2023 Bluegrass Ramble
They are going to be in Frankfort, Illinois, July 13/14, 2024. Bluegrass Festival
අපිව විනෝදමත් කල ලස්සන ඔබලාට ශ්රී ලංකාවේ මගෙන් ප්රණාමය.🙏🌹❤👍
This is a professional band. Their like a Asian Zach Brown. The accented timing of the different instruments is impeccable. This is the second Asian band today I've seen on TH-cam. I'm grateful bluegrass is appreciated elsewhere.
I listened and played bluegrass since my teenage years. Y’all beak all the stereotypes of what it means to enjoy good bluegrass! I truly hope y’all make it to beautiful Nashville!
Made me smile. Thanks, I needed that.
I'm 169 years old and this band is kicking my ass lately!!!
😊
I live in the US for decades I never listen to this kind of music but I am shocked because you guys are so good that make me have to watch this and very addictive. Thank you for your video. I’m glad I found you. I don’t know how long you’ve been out there but I finally found you tonight. Wow ,!!!impressive you guys are amazing.
We have to listen to Koreans to feel the real American music… lol
Bluegrass is american heritage and with international enthusiasm we keep it alive
Get thee to a bluegrass festival !
Hoping to see them at the Frankfort, Illinois, Bluegrass Festival. July 13/14, 2024.
Wow .. 😱😱😱🌹🌹🌹
Fantastic! Loved all the songs, especially the 2nd, and the last...both very beautiful. Great musicians and wonderful voices.
Have to add, that my cat LOVES YOU!! She has literally climbed into my arms and is rubbing my phone while this is playing!!!! (I'm her "Other Human" so this is unusual for her to do...so she's enjoying listening to you!!!)
Nice work team.
I came home after walking home through the rain and a full days work to my lovely wife from Soul and a beautiful homemade Korean meal. She played some country music as I like it from time to time. I thought, "I just wonder if..." Searched and there you were....
Lovely music..... thank you...
Séamus and Yumi
Dublin
👏👏👏
Good morning everyone❤❤❤❤
Beautiful...!
Bravi tutti!!!❤
Really adept musicians. Top band. I hope you get to Nashville
Love from Iowa. You guys are great!
I have been in KOrea for over 4 years and I just found your band. Amazing playing and vocals Hope to catch you live someday soon near the Camp Humphreys Pyeongtaek Base!
Keep it up sounds good
Bluegrass is an infectious genre of music,it is played internationally and the groups that I ve listened to here,on,you tube, sure enjoy the music they play and I enjoy listening to them.This music sure beats the hell out of the crazy mixed up music they play nowadays.More of this should be played on air aho
Rapcrap, shitty pop and bro country for example...
MARVELOUS
What a fabulous band xxx
WOW great Suprises me there thanks
Much respect to all of you.
That was the best thing I've heard in months.
I don't think I have ever seen a bluegrass group in the US play with as much joy as this group.
Yo, Chuck broaden your listening and viewing horizons before making such a parochial statement.
@@millicentsquirrelhole582 I stand by my opinion. It is mine and valid for my experience.
then you never really seen or experience bluegrass in its entirety. I know it's your opinion and you have every right to express it, and i stand by you in voicing your opinion freely. now that we got your opinion out of the way, I'm just giving you some facts when i say you never really seen or experience bluegrass in its entirety if ypu say you never seen ANY BLUEGRASS GROUP in the U.S. play with so much joy as this group had. You're either lying or just talking shit. All im saying is that You don't have to lie to give these people there credit for representing themselves in a perfectly old-timey bluegrass way.
Early Nickel Creek had it. I guess you haven't seen them.
K-Bluegrass. 👍
I heard them on the bluegrass jamboree. Thank you for this performance!
OUTSTANDING!
Brijant ... thanks a lot.
From a culture perspective, South Korea is going through a "Golden Age', cinematic, literature, economically (though that might be allready in decline, as usual, cf. the Dutch Republic, where the economic Golden Age was late 16th and early 17th centurey, but the cultural Golden Age was mid- and late 17th), architectural etc. Great to see. Enjoy it
Love
You are all very talented and have mastered the bluegrass sound to the highest degree!
Thanks guys, very sweet and the charming young lady has a lovely voice/ 👍👍
Outstanding. Extremely high level of musicianship. Really impressed.
I love the way bluegrass has blossomed out to other countries, such as Korea.
Beautiful ! Country is for all People's. You are very good musicians.
You all are great... Hope to hear more ................
I loved it.
Korea 🇰🇷 Bluegrass, I'm loving it.
wow korea number 1
Hope you made it to Nashville. You deserve it.
They did Just recently too ❤
@@pfromdapabGreat!
Great, that is delightful picking!
Great jamming session
This music makes me smile and feel happy.
I just love you guys and gal! Love the harmonies and the chord progressions. Very nice. Such beautiful voices and instrumentation!
Sound GREAT!
Better than the original!
Great performance 👏 👌 🙌 👍 ❤️
Love you guys! 💕❤🎶🎶From USA
That voice, wow!!! Just fabulous!!
power Korea blugrass!
ブルーグラスのスピリットが満載ですね🤗素晴らしい。日本の後輩達を見に行かなければ。バンドの総体サウンドがブルーグラス（アメリカーナ）🎉
Wow - really nice. I feel for you too - bluegrass isn't big in Australia, and not having an active scene, or musical history makes it very hard to pick up the style, particularly at the high level that Country Gongbang are playing. Well done - great stuff.
Look around ,you ll be surprized to find some bluegrass affectionados pickin',grinin' and a singin in the land downunder
@@doowoppapa yes, a few, but hard to find, and not necessarily within a feasible distance.
Hey Mike,I listen to many international bluegrass groups on you tube and,i m glad to say there are many from Australia,too bad that they may not be close to you but try you tube
Hey Mike me again from Ontario canada,sending you some aussie bands you might want to check out,Mustard Courage,flying emus,rank strangers,davidson brothers,a bit worry,high st drifters,bonja,the greencards,don t know if your close but you can check,have a great new year
@@doowoppapa I'll surely look into them. There have been some really good bluegrass players here over the years, but very few, and not many around Sydney. There are a lot of Irish music sessions, so I'm contemplating how to join in with those in a meaningful manner.
These guys are terrific!
Does anyone know the name of the second song ?? And where I could find it separately ? also the tune for the 2nd song sounds soo fmailiar!
I didn’t know that there is such a good bluegrass band in Korea, where I used to live 4 years from 1986 through 2000. Really amazing!
Thats 14 years
@@SSs-ch4ey but they went by fast😄
This is fantastic...What a great group of young musicians......
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome!!!👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just thoroughly excellent musically and the original songs are so enjoyable, despite the language barrier! Thanks Country Gongbang for your music and to IBMA for including and promoting international bands performing to a high level in the genre. All the best from Yorkshire, England!
Very innovative, yet traditional. Nice work.
kalian keren ! matur suksma😊
I have to comment. This is different. Technically tight on instruments with a bit of a Celtic rift on the second tune. I’m enjoying listening to this genre from a different perspective. Nicely done. I’m guessing this group could let loose and jam if they wanted to.
I especially like the last one!
Very nice!!
Wow, they are actually good. I didn't expect that.
Surprise!😮
They are good.
Country is so much more universal than I thought 😮
great job!
Glad to see you guys back uploading. To get some views, you should try a live performance on Reddit. Lots of people would love your music.
수고했습니다! 너무너무 행복하게 들었습니다.
Absolutely fantastic.
Great group well done and I will follow your future releases.
Great stuff.. Very nicely done!
Absolutely beautiful!!!
