Press
the legacy of bluegrass music lives on in many styles, but the musicians defining themselves in tradition uphold the stories and techniques of yesterday’s music. For more than two decades, one band doing that has been The Local Boys, a bluegrass and Americana band based in Wilkesboro, North Carolina. The Local Boys love music that grew and evolved over decades — old-time, bluegrass, country, and rock ’n’ roll.

Bio
The Local Boys are a band that has been waiting for the designation "Americana", as "Bluegrass" just doesn't cover the material they do. With all members of The Local Boys having deep roots in traditional music, they have a love for the styles that influenced and evolved from old time, bluegrass, country, and rock 'n' roll.
The Local Boys have been a staple at Merlefest the past 22 years. In addition, they've performed all around the Southeast at venues and events such as Brushy Mountain Apple Festival, Louisiana Spring Fest, Mountain Music Day Festival, Hot Rod Power Tour, and so many more. You'll definitely want to hear these guys perform!
