Known for putting the dish in traditional, Belle Monroe and her Brewglass Boys have been surprising Bay Area bluegrass, Americana and alternative country audiences for the past 6 years with their sparkling vocals, finely tuned arrangements, inventive delivery and blazing instrumental skills. Belle and the Boys have wowed crowds at the San Francisco Bluegrass and Old Time Festival every year since 2001 as well as the Brookdale Bluegrass Festival and the Hardly Strictly Bluegrass in Golden Gate Park. The band also regularly plays at Bay Area bluegrass venues such as Slim's, the Sweetwater, the Plough & Stars, the Hotel Utah, Iron Springs Pub, the Atlas Cafe and recently at the Mystic Theater in Petaluma. In July of 2006 the Brewglass Boys made it to the finals in the Rockygrass Bluegrass Festival Band Competition and took 3rd place.

Belle Monroe has been winning fans around the world with her strong, bluesy bluegrass and swing vocal style for the last fifteen years. A veteran of the San Francisco folk, swing and roots music scenes, Belle rounded up a bunch of her favorite local pickers to play some old bluegrass standards and imbibe a brew or two...the the Brewglass Boys were born. Singer and mandolinist Ted Silverman, along with Tom Drohan on the bass and Belle on guitar form the core rhythm section. The incendiary steel guitar of Rick Hendricks adds fire and flash to the music. Jordan Klein picks a hot 5-string banjo and Brewglass "Boy" DIana Greenberg rounds out the band on fiddle. Overlaying it all are the sweet and sometimes raunchy vocal harmonies of the Belle, Ted and Jordan trio that make Brewglass what it is. The Brewglass Boys deliver traditional and familiar songs alongside obscure selections you'd never expect a bluegrass outfit to attempt. If you like hard-driving bluegrass along with wacky humor, positive energy and heartfelt showmanship, then Belle Monroe & the Brewglass Boys will be just your pint of brew.
