My friends and I have started a bluegrass band. WE NEED A NAME. Please comment with your suggestions.
The winner (if we pick one) will be given a BIG SMILE and some exclusive pictures and recordings and a card signed by all the members.
You can list as many suggestions as you want!

Wow. Some of those sound like pretty good bluegrass names. 'Twould be nice to know what the meaning behind them is, though--DoubleDip? Hungry Autumn? :) Or maybe that's the point--nobody knows that it means.
I don't really have any new ideas. I'll weigh in later if I do.

AHHHHH! Most of these sound like names for a song, not band names. We need names that have real, decent, true meaning - "Go West Men and Never Come Back" would definitely make more sense as a song. Some of them definitely do not qualify - The Three Nuts, The Other Side, Honky-Tonk Grass, Bleeding Ears Bluegrass, American Harmonic Coalition (the majority of the members are Canadians), etc. Can you suggest names such as that have two or three words - Something to do with the Rocky Mountains and something to do with bluegrass (not pop, jazz or country). Remember that prize: SIGNATURES!

Concerning my comment about what names are good and bad, sorry if I offended anybody! We really do enjoy all your suggestions for names. Keep with it and thank you!
AAA! I'm offended! What's wrong with all of these good names? At least 75% would work fine for any type of folk group. Jazz? Nope. Country? Of course. Don't let that offend you; Bluegrass is just an extension of Country music.
Here are some more:
Extra-strength Gravity
Constant Conviction
Left Fiddle
Before and Beyond
Atingle
Bluegrass, Inc.
Pulling the Weeds
The Great Canadian Attempt
Boy, Joe looks like Elvis...
Well that's nice of you.
Actually Country is an extension of Bluegrass, Folk, Blues, and Rock n Roll...well at least today's country is :P
+1 for Pulling the Weeds

Elvis, Eh?
Pickin' Out
Elvis Goin' Tame
Elvis did not play bluegrass.
says who...are u hiding elvis?!?!?
Yeah, Elvis didn't play bluegrass. That's why he's going tame. :)Or maybe your version of bluegrass isn't any tamer than the good ol' Rock n Roll? lol
Hey! Most of today's bluegrass/country music makes Elvis look like a saint. So, "Tame Elvis" is a great name for the band. It fits!
no better yet, call it The Classical Mandolin and Violin Ensemble
Elvis played (sang) Rock 'n' Roll, as far as I'm concerned. I have never seen anything that said "Elvis performing Bluegrass tonight" or anything of that sort...
You're missing the point. My point is, is that some bluegrass isn't any better than Elvis. Any other Anonymouses care to make a point?
Elvis performed Bluegrass tonight. There. Now you've seen it. :)
I'll make the point that Bluegrass or no Bluegrass, "Tame Elvis" is still a great name for this great band!
Three cheers for Elvis!
Elvis ROCKS!
Maybe it's time all the anonymouses identify themselves and take responsibility for their many, many, many posts?
Nope. Why should we do that? Incognito is an art. Do you hate art? Of course not. Art is almost as good as Elvis.
Let me ask you something, most recent anonymouser - do you like Bluegrass?
Bluegrass is art.
If you dislike Bluegrass, well, I'll let you do the math.
Saying Elvis isn't art is like saying the Mona Lisa isn't art. I mean, the two just jive! All you have to do to realize that Elvis is art is just to listen to the pattern in his music. As anonymous says, ELVIS ROCKS!
I have a feeling. And this feeling tells me that the latest 7 anonymous comments are from the same person.
Elvis or not Joe Still looks like he's rockin out with a banjo ;)
how about u just name your band:
*>Band name here<*
Your feeling is lying to you, Sarah.
Elvis is an art. Doing anything halfway convincing is an art. I could perform any of Elvis' songs, and no one would pay a cent to hear me.
Ah, how sweet!
wow i thought this was a -=^=-Name suggestion thread not a Elvis argument-=^=-
