I've always liked the sound of bluegrass and general "fancy folk" (by which I mean it's quite technical).
After finally buying a Martin D18 (which took me 20 years after first playing and wanting one) I've decided to put some real effort into learning some good entertaining stuff on the thing - by which I mean that when someone says "go on then, play something" I could pick it up and entertain a room for 10 mins or so.
I like Doc Watson, which is what I'm listening to at the min. Also enjoying Billy Strings, but his stuff seems to lean more towards a group of musicians rather than just one man with a guitar.
I'm interested in bluegrass examples of "just a bloke with a guitar" - any suggestions?

I'm not locked in here with you, you are locked in here with me.
maybe heading more country though I guess
also check out the SteelDrivers plus the amazing Midnight Skyracers an all girl Bluegrass band from Oxford area I believe, featured them on my show a few times. Awesome.
