U.S. EMBASSY BRINGS BLUEGRASS MOUNTAIN MUSIC TO ARMENIA

YEREVAN, JUNE 8, ARMENPRESS: The US Embassy in Armenia said “Bob Perilla’s Big Hillbilly Bluegrass Band” will perform several concerts in Gyumri, Dilijan, Lake Sevan, Vayots Dzor, and Yerevan, at the invitation of the U.S. Embassy in Armenia.
Bluegrass, a uniquely American form of music, is vibrant, fast and fun. Known for the distinctive sound of the banjo, four-part harmonies, and raucous fiddle playing, the bluegrass sound originated among 18th century settlers in the Blueridge Mountains (which run along the America’s east coast, from Georgia to Virginia.)
