The Bluegrass Brothers is an American bluegrass band from Southwest Virginia.

Band history

Brothers Robert and Victor Dowdy formed the band in 1989 after both had been members of the family group "The Bluegrass Playboys". [http://www.thebluegrassbrothers.com/biography.html] The group became well-known outside of Southwest Virginia after they recorded The Ballad of Mark Warner in 2001 for the gubernatorial campaign of Mark Warner. The Bluegrass Brothers have gotten high reviews for their 2005 album "Old Crooked Trail". [http://www.bluegrassmusic.com/index.php?em192=20372_0__0_~0~443~484_-1_06_2005_0_0&issue=20230]
