Bluegrass music has deep roots in Southern gospel traditions, particularly in rural churches across the American South. Emerging in the 1940s from Appalachian folk music, bluegrass often blended sacred lyrics with acoustic instrumentation—banjo, fiddle, mandolin, and guitar. Church gatherings and revival meetings provided early venues for this style, where heartfelt harmonies and spirited rhythms brought a joyful, communal expression to worship. Over time, bluegrass gospel became a beloved form of musical praise, reflecting both the faith and cultural heritage of the region.
