The roots of Frying Pan Bluegrass are definitely in traditional bluegrass, but their driving sound comes from their time together and their original material. There is a unique rhythm to their playing and it sets a tempo for polished harmonies.

John Livingston (banjo) and Kevin Glenn (guitar) co-founded the band in 1998. They left the Bad Ass Bluegrass Brothers (1995-3rd Place winners-Telluride Bluegrass Festival Band Competition) in 1997. Around that time, Melissa Glenn, Kevin’s wife, decided to start playing stand-up bass with the new band. In 2005, Kory Krahl joined the band as the mandolin and fiddle player. All the musicians have been friends since the mid nineties.

Since 1998, Frying Pan Bluegrass has been entertaining audiences all around Colorado. Based in Basalt, Colorado, the band takes its name from their famous hometown trout stream, the Frying Pan River.

When you see this band, you will enjoy their stage show around the single microphone and their dedication to quality traditional and original bluegrass. Frying Pan has burned their mark on Colorado and they’re out to display the legend of bluegrass music.
