The High Ground Drifters are an all star assemblage of bluegrass pickers and singers that joined together post Katrina. They combine traditional and contemporary bluegrass in a tightly interplayed style that emphasizes harmony singing and energetic tempos. Whether it is Bill Monroe, the Stanley Brothers, or Del Mccoury and Ricky Skaggs or their originals featured on their debut record, The High Ground Drifters (Lonesome Cul De Sac Records), the influences are plain to see and encourage the band to put their own mark on the songs.

Festivals around the area have featured the High Ground Drifters and their acoustic bluegrass style is a nice departure for audiences in a jazz oriented town. This Mid City based band includes Grant Ligon on Guitar, Paul Williams on Mandolin, John Noble on Banjo, Jeff Bagwell on Fiddle, and Greg Nichols on Bass. Their fast paced sets often include reworkings of songs by Fats Domino, Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, and Yes, among others. Gather around the stage as they gather around a single microphone and bring bluegrass to you with New Orleans musicality

Bluegrass music emerged in the 1940s, primarily attributed to Bill Monroe and his band, the Blue Grass Boys. Monroe blended traditional Appalachian folk music with elements of jazz and blues, creating a distinct sound characterized by high harmonies and instrumental virtuosity. While Monroe is often regarded as the father of bluegrass, the genre was influenced by earlier folk traditions and various regional styles. Other early contributors included musicians like Earl Scruggs and Lester Flatt, who helped popularize the genre.
