Musik Bluegrass adalah sebuah bentuk dari musik turunan Amerika, dan genre terkait musik country. Dipengaruhi oleh musik Appalachia,[1] bluegrass memiliki turunan akar dalam musik tradisional Irlandia, Skotlandia dan Inggris,[2] dan juga kemudian terpengaruhi oleh musik Afrika-Amerika[3] melalui pemasukan unsur-unsur jazz.
Para pemukim dari Inggris dan Irlandia datang ke Appalachia pada abad ke-18, dan membawakan tradisi musik dari tanah air mereka.[4] Tradisi-tradisi tersebu biasanya terdiri dari ballad-ballad Inggris dan Skotlandia—yang tak secara khas disertai naratif—dan musik tari, seperti tari reel asal Irlandia, yang disertai dengan sebuah gesekan.[5] Beberapa lagu bluegrass lama datang langsung dari Kepulauan Britania. Beberapa ballad bluegrass Appalachia, seperti "Pretty Saro", "Cuckoo Bird" dan "House Carpenter", datang dari Inggris dan menyajikan tradisi ballad Inggris dalam hal melodi dan lirik.[6] Yang lainnya, seperti The Two Sisters, juga datang dari Inggris; namun, liriknya tentang Irlandia.[7] Beberapa lagu gesekan bluegrass yang populer di Appalachia, seperti "Leather Britches", dan "Pretty Polly", memiliki turunan Skotlandia.[8] Nada tari Cumberland Gap datang dari nada yang disertai ballad Skotlandia Bonnie George Campbell.[9] Lagu-lagu lainnya memiliki nama berbeda di tempat berbeda; contohnya di Inggris, terdapat sebuah ballad lama yang dikenal sebagai "A Brisk Young Sailor Courted Me", tetapi lagu yang sama dalam bluegrass Amerika Utara dikenal sebagai "I Wish My Baby Was Born".[10]
