About Haywire Bluegrass
First of all, Haywire is just for fun! All of the original members were in the group for fun, and so it is for fun that we continue to play bluegrass today. The group can be seen voluteering at local bluegrass festivals leading the EZ Jam workshops. It is our goal that anyone interested can join in! Every great musician started as beginner. and so any beginner can become a great musician.
One look at the original members here and it shouldn't take but a second to figure it out! Playing bluegrass music with friends that love to play! How about those guys? Those are the original Haywire Orchestra members in their 1951, 15 year anniversary picture!Haywire Today
