The Goodwin Brothers

These Kentucky-born brothers arrived on the scene in 2020. Despite releasing an album in a genre known to spark arguments over what counts as "authentic," The Goodwin Brothers seem far more concerned with realizing their own vision than hewing to hard-line conventions — like sticking to a strict repertoire of mostly traditional bluegrass songs and standards. The arrival of this project seems to speak all these languages at once:  unafraid to push the boundaries of its primary genre, and packing the musical chops to bring such an eclectic vision to life.
