Bluegrass music was "invented" in the 1940s by American artist Bill Monroe. He defined the "high lonesome sound" and the standard bluegrass lineup of guitar, banjo, mandolin, double bass, fiddle and dobro.
Bluegrass was inspired by Appalachian music and also has roots in Irish, Scottish, Welsh, and English traditional music. It was also later influenced by elements of African American music and jazz.

Bluegrass music was developed in the late 40's by Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys, featuring Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs who provided Bluegrass' hard driving sound. Bluegrass was a refinement of 'Old Timey' music which was a evolution of folk music brought by immigrants to the Appalachian mountains. As time went on songs that came from such countries as Ireland and Scotland became the basis of songs that were sung and played with instruments such as guitars, fiddles, and banjos. Eventually, new songs would be written in the manner of which we know as Bluegrass Music today.
