Bluegrass Breakdown: Arizona

It’s the 48th state, the 6th largest state, and 14th most populous state. As the home of 22 national parks and monuments (the most of any state), towering peaks, the Navajo nation, tall Saguaro cacti, the oldest rodeo, the first McDonalds drive-through, big blue skies, and warm sunny days, it’s no wonder the state has inspired some great bluegrass tunes. With the guidance of Ashleigh Caudill, the Rarely Herd, the Deer Creek Boys, and Tricky Britches we’ll be exploring the Grand Canyon State, Arizona.
