"If
someone asked for a definition of bluegrass entertainment I would
suggest attending a show of this amazing Italian band named "Bluegrass
Stuff". Never had I seen such an entertaining act such as
the 1st Spring Bluegrass Festival in Willisau, Switzerland last
May where I heard this band for the first time."

STUFF is one of the oldest bluegrass bands in Europe, having
been active since 1977. The band's style is traditional, with
a sound and approach that embraces the classic bluegrass of Bill
Monroe, Flatt & Scruggs, Jimmy Martin and the Stanley Brothers.
