Bean Blossom

Lynae Sowinski

Bill Monroe and his Blue Grass Boys created a cradle of bluegrass music in Bean Blossom, Indiana, that continues to influence musicians of all genres today. Anders Beck of Greensky Bluegrass (pictured here performing at The Vogue in Indianapolis in January) credits the Grateful Dead's Jerry Garcia for his introduction to bluegrass. Garcia was heavily influenced by Monroe, and even visited Bean Blossom in 1964 to audition for him. | Photo by Samantha Eibling
