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.

Who (or what band) invented the genre of bluegrass?
Bluegrass as a style developed during the mid-1940s. Because of war rationing, recording was limited during that time, and it would be most accurate to say that bluegrass was played some time after World War II, but no earlier. As with any musical genre, no one person can claim to have "invented" it. Rather, bluegrass is an amalgam of old-time music, country, ragtime and jazz. Nevertheless, bluegrass's beginnings can be traced to one band. Today Bill Monroe is referred to as the "founding father" of bluegrass music; the bluegrass style was named for his band, the Blue Grass Boys, formed in 1939.
